Buffalo Gets:D Aaron Ekblad , $m (P-n/a)
2015 1st Round Pick
2015 2nd Round Pick
2015 2nd Round Pick
Florida Gets:C Sam Reinhart, $m (P-n/a)
I was really hoping Florida would take a forward with the 1st pick in the NHL draft, but oh well...
I have a lot of good D and a lot of good young D, and I feel that I need more firepower up front, so we're swapping the 1st and 2nd overall 2014 NHL picks here.
Given that I have a lot of draft picks next year (and probably not a lot of roster spots opening up), I was dealing in a position of surplus of draft picks... So while they are nice to have, I still have a ton more in 2015 so these ones were expendable.
Took a few messages to get the picks sorted out, but I'm satisfied.
Thanks for the deal Jean
