Mayers, Jamal (RW) NHL
2007 2nd Round Draft Choice (det)
Breakdown:
Bolts get younger and take a bit of a gamble that Nolan hasn't been eating Ding Dongs at Brett Hull's house. Give up a solid dman in SS but Gleason and Koivu have better years ahead of them.
Adding Ozo helps the Tampa PP and Jurcina and Mayers will help in SJ's rebuilding efforts.
