Namestnikov does nothing for this team. They needed a top 6 winger, not another middling forward, which they have an over abundance of.
They also needed a big and mobile defensive defenseman and a defenseman with some offensive ability and can play the right side.
They filled needs.
I would have liked to see them acquire a top 6 winger, but that was not likely to happen, unless some team out there was really high on a package of Jankowski and Kylington, which i'm guessing there wasn't.
