the way that I see it -
Eberle for Haula is banking on a resurgence from Haula. Haula has an incredible contract and can easily bounce back to the 72 he was last year
Tanev for Schneider is a positional need thing. Both guys are relatively the same rating for their position and are one-year rentals. I just paid a 2nd for Tanev and I doubt Schneider could get a 2nd
Morrow for Petan - defense for forward. I need more AHL forwards, Calgary needs AHL defense
Sautner was a contract thing, I need to clear contracts
Kronwall for Caggiula and a 4th - He clears $1.5 here and gets a defenseman with a pretty good rating. Kronwall becomes his best defenseman (and I believe Yzerman has said he is leaning toward returning for another year). Caggiula is a 66, a downgrade, hence the pick
