I'm looking for all the help I can get in net. I feel like this will be a good move for the future and potentially even this year. I would have liked to do brassard for anders nillson straight across to help my cap situation but this worked out ok for me.

and i want to add a Center to balance my team,,,  :thumbsup:

Wow brassard who is decent but in a goalie starved league gettin a big talent in Nilsson and dago who is quite good as well seems like a huge payment for a minimal C

Sorry not on the TC but just an opinion

This appears to be a balanced trade given Columbus is taking back salary while offering a very good Center to land a 3rd or 4th string goaltender.

i think this trade could be detrimental to :ANA: given they only have 3 goalies in their entire organization, 2 are prospects while the other is dipietro who sometimes plays... sometimes. however, both teams are looking to make moves to rebuild and Nilsson isn't billed as the 2nd coming of Brodeur so i think it should gets a "pass."

win to :CLS: for adding depth in goal + RW.
