I'll be looking back at this trade for awhile.
I believe Nilstorp could out-duel Ellis to back up the injury-prone Lehtonen. Then again, he's on a two-way contract this year and may get jumped by Campbell and never make it in The Show.
I don't know how this will turn out, my skills at prediction just aren't that good. What I do know is this league is starving for goaltenders so maybe this ends up in Abby's favour at the end of the day. Regardless, I am content with what I got.
McIlrath is a defensive PIM machine with great pedigree. Maybe there's an upside there as well but the 3rd round pick was what sealed it.
Thanks for the deal Abby.....all the ones I make are quick!
