Columbus managed to grab an excellent hockey player without giving up any of their 3 firsts. I call that a win for them. Moore was expendable with their solid depth on D (Johnson, Wis, Tyutin, Nikitin), Gaborik is a much better player than Brassard, and Dorsett is replaceable, although I really liked him from his time with the Tigers.
Even if they don't make the playoffs, that added a valuable piece and get to pick 3 times this year.
