does this trade to get a few young pieces since we are in rebuild mode. We hate trading Nino but we definitely make up for it in the 4 players we get back. I have no problem trading Rinne since we don't plan on extending him now or after the season since we have 2 young stud goalies in our minors (Gibson and Andersen). Rinne just isn't in our future plans with his age.
Thanks for the trade and smooth negotiations. I hope it works out for us both short and long term.
