From Buffalo's side of things, this is the type of deal we've been wanting to pull off. Playoffs are out of the question for us and so our GM made the decision to move whatever veteran players we had on expiring contracts. The fact that we were able to bring in two, rfa-aged players for two aging veterans is tremendous. The fact that Krebs was shipped out with them is less than ideal but that was the price and I think it was a fair price.
L.A. gets a possible future stud and Buffalo gets two young players that can be plugged in immediately and give us team control for a bunch of years.
Thanks to Harry Onions for the easy deal.
