[Caged Great]

I was expecting this trade ever since Elliott flamed out in round 1. When you're having difficulties with your goaltending and you are extremely familiar with a good goalie from your old job, it only makes sense to go and get the guy you know is good instead of maybes.

Not shocked either that it was Hickey that got dealt. I think that because Falkovsky jumped up in terms of expectations because of the fact that he had a great season and Fox also had a great season made Hickey expendable. A 2nd round pick sucks, but Treliving also showed his hand in his answer last week. "we're going to spend a 2nd on a goalie every other year".

Smith has the right amount of term left as well, and it allows Gillies/Parsons more than enough time to take over.

I like it on the whole.
