Theodore is a great puck-mover, but Josi is still our Top PP guy. Power got decent ratings which I suspect will only improve. Wanted a bit more cap flexibility so we could make some decisions without being forced to.
Simashev went higher than expected, but still a 6th overall pick with great skating and defensive work. Question-marks on production, but so hard to tell being in the Russian league. He'll be given all the chances to succeed on a fairly defensively poor Utah team.
Thanks Scorp for the deal.
