Funny how those morons at CP are praising Yzerman when the only thing he got was a 6th round pick and some cap room.

It appears those "morons" at CP at least understand why the Lightning made this deal and why it turned out great for them. What they fail to realize is that the Lightning would have bought out Percell if they couldn't make the Ganger trade so the Oilers gave up Gagner for a player that was going to available on free agency at very likely a lesser deal than the bloated one the Lightning wanted to buy out. They don't realize that the plan for the Lightning was always just to unload Percell for cap room. They didn't want Gagner on that deal any more than the 28 other teams outside of the Coyotes.
