Ya, this is a nothing deal that really doesn't do anything.
Coilers give up some useless ECHL plug that will likely never see the AHL, and some kid that doesn't want to be part of the Short Bus Special Coilers.
Coilers get some guy who can barely skate, can't pass to save his life, and was once a decent bottom pairing guy when he had any physicality or punch to his game, but really doesn't anymore since a Lucic (I think) slapshot broke his head last year. Now he can't crack the Leafs defence, and they give up 35 shots a game or so. He may be better than Potter or Belov, but probably not. More likely he is on par with Garbagekov.
It's not so much shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic as it is throwing over one totally broken deck chair and a picture of a deck chair and taking a rusted old lawn chair with a few missing straps where the seat used to be and putting it out by the pool of the ship while it slowly sinks...
