does this trade to get out of Hossa's long contract at his age and to get rid of a goalie that isn't in our long term plans. We get in return a young goalie in Grubauer that showed he has starter potential and another top d-man in Streit on an expiring contract. We also save cap for next season and on by trading Hossa and Streit possibly a one year rental. Grubauer should also be a low re-sign/extension depending on his situation this year.
The

biggest need this season was D-men so this trade and the trade for Weber helps us a lot this year.
Good Luck SlackJack and thanks for the trade
