I guess you can call it one. Not one to throw the term blockbuster around, MJK contacted Ravi last night and made a significant offer to acquire Ryan Getzlaf and it didn't take long for the deal to go down:
To Columbus:
Ryan Getzlaf
Dan Cleary
Bruno Gervais
To Anaheim:
Mikko Koivu
Jeff Schultz
Brayden Schenn
Patrick Eaves
The deal helps bolster an average top 6 which sees one of the best young centers coming to town and adds a legit top 6 winger in Cleary. MJK heard the comments coming from the other GM's about his forwards and decided he should make a move to strengthen it. Jeff Schultz is a decent young D but was the #5 guy in Columbus so the loss isn't a big one on the back end.

At the end of the day we got the best player in the deal and look forward to seeing what Getz can do with Gaborik. We really liked Schenn but think he was worth parting with to get such a top notch C.

Thanks Ravi for the deal and I think it's a deal we can both walk away happy with.
Jackets and Ducks Blockbuster?
