so basically Ottawa got Ryan 26 years old 4 30 goal seasons in a row for Backlund, #22 and #28. And the #28 (Noesen) has not progressed in juniors for 2 years.

PS. This is an absolute steal for Ottawa. Without the Cap in place and Ottawa being careful cap managers this trade never happens.

Anaheim went from finishing #3 in the league to re-building. Getzlaff and Perry will have their $8M + and be fighting for a playoff spot.... but they are re-building from the top and trying to load up on prospects.

Minnesota is in the same situation with Parise, Suter and Koviu taking a huge % of the cap and Ballard being their #3 D-man. The future is now for Nino and Grandlund or Minnesota is going to be very disappointed. Last year they barely made the playoffs and they had to give away Setigouchi (replaced by Nino N?) who has been a legit top 6 and forward Cullen walks along with Clutterbuck . Their supporting cast of players is not getting stronger.

Pittsburgh isn't going to be any stronger then they were at the end of last year. Malkin, Crosby and next year Letang means that they will have some AHL guys filling in teh bottom half of their line-up.
