Good deal for both sides. Wild get the best sniper in the world, while Islanders get cap space, solid prospects and a solid 1st/2nd liner

Eriksson Ek is available. Looking for a good solid forward.

I've never been a big AO fan. I think he's a goof. But he's still the best sniper in the NHL and I think Zetts could be done after this year. So I think I make a good move there to bring in a much better asset. Stanley seems like a marginal first round prospect. The best piece here is Eriksson Ek who I drafted and do quite like, but I see more of a 3rd liner.

For what it's worth, Zetterberg said last summer that he sees himself retiring in two seasons.

Crap for crap. Good deal guys.
