B+ for me for the Berra trade alone. I can't believe we managed to snag a 2nd rounder for him. Especially looking at the other goalies dealt that returned draft picks or worse (Dubnyk, Bryz, Fasth, etc). Not that he was garbage or anything but I still saw him as a question mark as far as being a regular NHL goalie goes.
Stempniak returned exactly what I was hoping for and what was expected.
Only knock would be Cammalleri but I understand the logic. Perhaps we re-sign him (not a bad thing at all) and/or perhaps showing the rest of the league we're not just giving players away more than makes up for the apparent weak return. Have to try and keep some vets around also, especially the ones that want to be here.
