Pittsburgh/Nashville Trade

[SlackJack]

Martin St. Louis, $5.3m (2013-14)
Jacob Josefson, $1.0m (2012-13)

For

Kyle Okposo, $2.0m (2012-13)
Roman Josi, $2.4m (2013-14)


Okposo is had a slow start last year before he really started putting up numbers. I think he breaks-out this year on the top line but will still probably be an affordable long-term resign for Pittsburgh. Josi is paired with Weber and logging huge minutes.

In return I get a superstar in Marty who is still racking up great numbers. His production is waning but I think he'll produce enough for me this year to help keep me in contention. Josefson has potential but he's also a bit of a band-aid-boy.

Thanks to Mariner for the deal.

Slackjack pretty well summed up my part of the trade in his post. I like Okposo's upside and he is cheaper and younger than St. Louis. I get a much needed defenceman in Roman Josi and clear enough cap space to call up Jonas Brodin, another young defenceman. Thanks Slackjack.

  Another addition by subtraction for Pittsburgh... They get two mid range producers and some cap in exchange for another superstar. I like it.

Im impressed with the way PIT is transforming their team, big turn for them this season.

Slack adds another dangerous piece as Marty is playing posessed this season. NSH gets scarier.
