I do this deal to reacquire JVR. I think I made a mistake by trading him last year and I'm happy to get him back. I also wanted to reduce payroll. I'm really happy to add two cheaper D options and solidify my LW position. This deal gives me more flexibility for the FA market as well.
Thanks Gilly for the great negotiations!!
