Pens made an extremely difficult decision dealing Dach. From day 1 he Dach had been the most sought after player on the team.
I anticipated hanging on to him for a few years and really didn't consider dealing him.
Unfortunately, the team is in a bit of a cap bind and I wasnt able to complete my lineup through UFA so had to make a difficult decision. NJ came calling.
On the deal I got a good young winger in Yamamato who should continue to thrive on the Oilers, especially after they win the lottery again, the Dallas 1st which could be a lottery pick next year and Gunler who is a first round talent in the upcoming draft. I jumped at the deal which should help both teams in the near term and the future. As always, great dealing with NJ.
