to florida
D - Brent Regner, $0.2m (2011-2012) ... i'll eat his salary and buy out so he's off OTT books (BUYOUT @ $0.1m 2011-12)

C - Zack Smith, $0.5m (P-2012) ... good young plugger
RW - Daniel Alfredsson, $4.9m (2012-2013) ... overpriced vet that produces when he plays but injured half the time
minor leaguer D - David Rundblad, N/C, (13 Games) ... the key to this trade

low-down: sens wanted to rebuild plus move some guys from the old regime and we felt they were worth the buyout hit to get bodies we wanted. we also wanted to move players left behind from the old re-building panthers' regime to take a shot at the post-season. tough parting with andy, cam, quinton but it'll be worth it if rundy pans out.

sens to confirm!
thanks dickiedunn.  good back-n-forth negotiation.

With a 0-7 team we had to go into rebuilding mode immediately. It started off as a 2 for 1 deal and took off from there. I picked up a great package of skilled players while dumping useless D taking up roster space. In my opinion I gave up 2 good players to get 4 in return.

I might just win a game this season if I can make a few more moves. If only other teams would start replying to messages in their inbox.

Good job OTT, the rebuild is looking nice. Runblad is good but I really like Jones even though he is quite awhile from NHL games.

i think drew's giving us his blessing so that would make 3 yes votes and this would send this deal off to the processing room. lots of trades. great to see.
