Holy cow is that ever a haul for the Maple Leafs for a one-dimensional second line winger. Granted the Crosby effect should prop him up substantially, plus his speed - going one way, anyway - will fit in well. Great job by Dubas with this one, though I suspect it fell into his lap more than anything. Hallander isn't just a throw-in either, he's a legit prospect - around the caliber of Matthew Phillips in Flames terms (not in style, but outright "cupboard" rank).

I understand the Penguins going for it again, too. Nothing to lose now. But you think surely they could've gotten a better player back for that package with a bit more patience.
