That's a pretty huge deal for the Rockets.
They give up Jesse Lees who really wasn't a needed piece as they already had him playing out of position. PA will probably have him back on the blueline which he preferred anyway. He'll probably be a decent overager next year though.
Losing Glover hurts as he was near a PPG when healthy this year and only 18 but the key here was not giving up Dillon Dube and not giving up a 1st which is check and check. Gave up a 2nd and 3rd which isn't ideal but a worthwhile risk when you can run out Morrissey and Madison Bowey like the Winterhawks did last year with Pouliot and Dumba.
Still are carrying just two 20s, have to think the Rockets will add an overage forward as well as they could really use an extra decent scorer.
Fun year to be a Rocket fan.
