This is a really really good trade for both teams.
The leafs gain a bit of badly needed cap room and get the pick back in the 1st.
The Pens get a perfect compliment to Crosby or Malkin.
They know the player well since they drafted him originally. Terrific cap hit too. He will explode under that system playing with those guys.
Truly the one player in the entire league I would have and have on the past predicted would be a flame by next season and a bit perturbed he isn't. Perfect fit for Calgary but maybe even a better fit for Pittsburgh.
