I needed a goalie, hopefully he don't retire, lol, I feel a forsberg moment coming on again, lol, but if he doesn't then I got a solid goalie for next year + gave some youth to grab my man Stewy, love this kid, so much potential with McDonald, TJ and others in St Louis!!

Thanks bud for the trade!!

Awesome guy to deal with

Dallas Recieves

- Mike Richards
- Joffery Lupul
- Marty Reasoner

Buffalo Recieves

- Evgeni Malkin
- Carl Gunnarsson

Soooo I personally believe this is a good trade both ways...I know the Malkin lovers out there are gonna say "i could have gotten Malkin for that?, that guy is gold"  but he's an 8.7 million contract, if I can spread that money out over 2 guys and a stud in Richards then I say were do I sign?  Marty is a typical 30 pointer, nothing to big, but with a 0.6 million contract that is fine with me....Lupul is gonna be stellar this next season and not just cause Im a Toronto fan and he will sit well on the roster with my young boths on LW....Richards....wellllll...if your a hockey fan like we all are then I shouldn't have to explain Richards other then when I call up Thorton and toss Fishy and some stragglers with them two I likey my centers.

On a side note, yes Gunner is a Leaf, but Favo is such a nice guy and awesome to deal with, so he got a cheap-o defenseman to finalize a fun and what I think is a good deal.

So approve of the trade folks, cause on paper yes maybe he got a little better, but overall its a good deal!!

 

hahaha oh shut up....I need the pick for a trade lol!!

Dallas gets 2nd Round Pick

Edmonton gets Brett Connolly

My reason is, I get a higher 2nd pick than I originally had and am using it in another trade.

Schremp is a cheap and I like him
Connolly and Coyle are in minors but are cheap-o's too when I need to call them up.
I never planned on calling up Brouwer so getting three guys for him and giving one of my picks that I wasn't gonna get much for is dandy with me.  During waiver free period he will be able to get himself a nice little RW

Ty buddy !!
