Awesome trade. Wasn't sure about the condition or not, wrongly assumed it was "Maybe a 2nd". Now that it's a guaranteed second round pick, with potential to move to a 1st, that's fantastic value.
Don't know much about Pollack, Jokipakka doesn't have a tonne of upside but he's a typical Finnish defender, skates wells, moves well, not overly physical but not a wuss. And I generally like the Finnish blueliner.
Good value by Treliving, patience and some creativity paid off.
Good on the Stars for protecting themselves a little, acquiring a guy that's been injured the past couple weeks.
