What a trade! I like it for both teams but especially buffalo if they get that 2014 first round pick. They still have moulson to trade for a first round pick if they want... That would potentially give them 6 first round picks over the next 2 drafts! Plus they are already a young team with more guys they could trade in order to move further picks up the draft (edler or Myers for example) if they want.
I also like it for St. Louis... They don't lose any scoring or grit since Ott and Stewart post pretty similar qualities in those departments but Ott is a center who can play up and down the line up. They also get a world class goalie who is playing for a contract and would likely re-sign if St. Louis goes deep into the playoffs.
