First off, this deal is contingent on Darcy Kuemper, $4.9m (2012-13) $0.5m, (2014-15) being sent to my minors when the
and
deal is processed.
Now, to this deal. I highlighted the players that Gilly and I were talking about mainly. The reason for the rest of the guys was for roster room and cap availability.
I really like getting Kopitar and Hiller. Even though Hiller isn't in a great position, he is an upgrade over Three-or-more in my opinion. I also like unloading the HUGE contracts of Staal and Gabby. This is another move for the future for me. I think both teams made out pretty well.
Thanks Gilly for working with me!
And sorry Drew for having to process two of these deals!
