I like this trade because it balances out the roster a bit making it easier to play some of the young guys in their natural position.

I don't think Jones will rebound, but he can be a warm body on RW for now, no issue there for me.

O'Brien is more of the same, for me. He can watch from the press box and be available to keep the Top 6 D honest...while also making sure any younger D not in he Top 6 can stay in Abby...no sense having a young player watching from up there. CGY has Smith to fill that role as well, though.
