After taking a second to think about it, this is a good trade.
Whoever says Horak is a lifetime AHLer must have some nice crystal ball. The kid already earned himself a spot in the NHL once before when younger, so pretty dumb. Broisott played great, but how exciting is it to stockpile goalie prospects... Just steal a UFA sometime down the road.
A top 4 defenseman with his size is definitely a large asset! Think about our current D prospects coming up, it would be a huge success for any to turn into top 2 or top 4 D pairings. So.. we just picked one up that's gone through the development years. nice
