Thanks Spike.

I'll explain the rationale for the Isles/Canucks deal from our perspective:

-We love Krejci and is a #1 centre
-We already have Ryan Johansen as a #1 centre had some ability to move Krejci if the deal was right
-Callahan gives us the ability to still be competitive this year
-Callahan will take a big hit to ratings this year, but we think that's a good thing as his Grid will be cheaper and should hopefully bounce back (buy low?)
-Even if Callahan doesn't completely pan out, I would consider a Krejci for Horvat deal straight up something that we are happy with
-I hate the dirty Canucks, but every time I watch them I am impressed with Horvat and think he will turn into a #1b/#2 centre which we are OK with
-We were OK offering up Geertsen as our defensive prospect depth is relatively decent

Thanks Spike for the deal.
