This is absolutely disgusting.


I accept.

With trades this significant, it's less about who is traded where, and what each team is specifically trading away versus what they are acquiring.

Edmonton Oilers for simplicity sake of evaluating the breakdown of each individual team's trade.

1) I'm highly offended that nobody asked me if I wanted to be apart of this clusterfuck
2) I don't get why Buffalo is in this lol
3) Holy shit Tampa is getting RAPED

Buffalo’s in it because LOL
Last time people thought Tampa/Montreal was getting raped it led to two straight Cup Finals appearances so...

Hudler and a 1st = Whitney
Orpik = Corvo
Rozsival, two 1sts? = Jovo
1st = Nielsen?

Ericsson, White, Lovejoy, 3 seconds are just kind of there?

I looked at Rozsival 82 and then each first is like buying 2-3 overalls when tagging it on? It's a lot of pieces going out, that's for sure. But a lot of those pieces are 4th line, depth D, 2nd round picks.

How I view it:
Hulder and 1.5 firsts = Whitney
Orpik=Corvo
(Rozsival + 1st = Edler)+ 1st = Jovo
.5 1st = Nielsen (especially considering it's a 2009 Tampa 1st)

Ericsson was essentially free because if he's gonna sit on the bench it might as well be in Detroit. Lovejoy was for the lol aspect of the Buffalo inclusion and was always gonna be a bench piece.

White was the Rangers incentive to move back in years from 2011 to 2013 - the 2011 pick that San Jose ended up with. The three seconds were part of "convincing" New York to move down the 2009 SJS pick to the Tampa 2009 pick.

It's a little heavy, yes, but it does make sense to me and it's something I would've done if the Rangers were any other team.

And also, again, last time Tampa made a trade people thought was terrible we went to back to back Cup appearances, so...

[Buffalo Sabres]

sorry guys, I didn't want to move Belesky.
