I think this deal is a fairly big win for us. I wonder how many GM's would have been on it if they knew they could get him for that price?

I'm not concerned about the lack of picks in the next two drafts because we re-stocked the cupboards a bit over the last few drafts, and all those guys are going to improve at different rates and at different time. Especially at the defence position - let these guys overcook in the minors and shelter them on the third pairing when they get into the league.

I'm sure Treliving will also recoup some of our expiring assets with picks anyways.

I just wish they could have traded for Schlemko too. A Hamonic/Schlemko pairing could be the Hammacher Schlemmer pairing.
