Deadline was better than expected for me. I don't know about you, but I think it's a great success. Let's go through some of our trades:
NYR gets: Nik Antropov
To gets: 2nd round pick, and conditional draft pick.
No Stralman involved. Good. No Tlusty involved. Good. No picks involved. Good. No first round pick. Bad, but at least we got a 2nd rounder which we were missing, and I'll give an update on the conditional pick as soon as I get the info.
Buf gets: Dominic Moore
To gets: 2nd round pick.
Again no picks, or prospects involved, and we got another 2nd round pick. Kind of a steal to me. Moore goes from being nothing and picked up on waivers to being worth a 2nd round pick.
Tb gets: Richard Petiot
To gets: Olaf Kolzig, Andy Rogers, Jamie Heward, and a 4th.
This is purely a money deal. Rogers is only 22, so he could prove to be a serviceable 3-4 defenseman and help us down the stretch. Kolzig and Heward will both be UFAs come the summer, and this is one of the better trades of the day.
Leafs also acquired two guys from waiver pickups
Former Sens goalie Martin Gerber, and defenseman Erik Reitz from the New York Rangers. Gerber comes in and becomes our number one goalie, with Toskala done for the year.
All in all today was a success and I wish both Antropov and Moore plenty of success on their new teams.
