At the start of the day Yzerman was going to buyout Purcell and pay him 6M not to play for the Lightning.
Then MacTavish came along and offered Gagner, so Yzerman was down to paying 3.33M to remove Purcell from the team.
Then Arizona came along and now Yzerman got a 6th round pick in addition to only paying 3.33M to remove Purcell from the team.
Arizona gets Crombeen and a Gagner at 3.33M for the next 2 years at the cost of a 6th round pick.
And then there's Oiler fans who somehow think they came out ahead with a player who a couple hours ago was going to have his contract bought out.
