Team A states that it is looking to trade a player
Team B is linked in some way to Team A (media, excessive scouting, 2nd player redundancy, team need)
Fan speculation ensues.
Glencross is leaked to be on the move
Anaheim is leaked to be the preferred destination of Glencross
Anaheim needs a top 6 LW for a playoff run
DSP has become redundant with the emergence of Rackell
Both DSP and Glencross rumoured or reported to be displeased with their usage
Fans speculate on a possible swap of players and value
DSP is traded for a player in the same value ballpark as was discussed here
Step 4 : Profit
So far, we're actually doing pretty well
