I don't get the media love for the deal. It addresses the Leafs need for a backup, sure they win in that regard, while LA gets a serviceable skilled hard worker, but to make it out like this solves everything is a bit silly. They had a need for a backup, addressed it at a decent cost, end of story. C'mon Craig Button, put it in context. They still have major defence problems which probably aren't going to be addressed by the deadline.
