Saying Dorsett is similar to Prust is idiotic. Yeah, they both can fight, but Prust is a player who was a strong leader for Rangers and penalty killer. Should never had let Prust go. Sather is pretty funny as a GM lately

He was Top 5 in the league in goals 2 of his 3 years here. He was hardly a failure.

Yes, it's true, but he had to go, now was as good as time as any, and I believe they got a good return for him.

Vin I think that this is the right direction for this team. I look at this team now and I see a better version of it from top to bottom compared to last season with the subtraction of Gabby and addition of Nash. This team just became a tough MOFO team to play against again IMO.

I agree, still would have liked to have seen Gabby raising the Cup in NY, he's a better player than when we signed him.

Dorsett was an "A" in Columbus, go complain about Snow's inability to make a deal in your own thread

Gaboriks don't grow on trees. Should've got more for him.

But he leaves with no ring and a boat load of money.

I just don't know. The obvious upside is the cap space that just opened up. There's definitely potential that this works out in our favor, but at first look I feel we lost on this one. Sure Gabby struggled this year, but a proven 30/40 goal scorer is hard to replace. I know some have said it already, but my first thought was that he'll score 30+ next year and will be playing in our division. I really liked him, just sucks that he had such a bad season this year. I wish him luck.

LATELY????

And Gabby looked like he was about ready to breakout...

We turn 1 player to 3 and save $2M plus the cost of those 2 players we do not need now.. that does help.

John Moore (900k) and Brassard (3.2M) are RFAs in 2014

Dorsett ($1.6M) is signed till summer 2015.

Word! Now lets go out & (frank) the Penguins up tonight!

Yeh, sure. We are going to lose 9-0 to a team that actually plays the game of hockey, and not soccer on skates.

Alright, now that I got that out of me, go team!!!!

i'm just still so torn. i'll reassess the trade after seeing these guys play but gabby just had so much swag out there on the ice.

You can't when a guy is soft AND makes 7.5 mill per, even if it is only one year left. This was a classic salary dump. Good move

Dorsett is gonna be the key in this deal. Like his game. Actually has toughness and jam.

CSNNE is reporting that the Boston Bruins have traded for Wade Redden in exchange for a draft pick. #BruinsTalk

The cap space alone for this deal is enough for me. This will allow them to lock up Mac Truck and Step long term.

I have jam in my fridge, I would have given it up to keep Gabby...

a lot of jackets fans are pissed about this trade. They see Gaborik as over-the-hill.

O'Byrne to Toronto

7.5 million playing on the 3rd doesn't grow on trees either. Needed to be done.

Brassard is older than I thought... 26.... its not liek hes young with potential My god John Moore better impress the poop outta me.

Didn't need a deal. Islanders are loaded with their own talent coming up the system. Hopefully we knock you out of the playoffs so Columbus gets a lottery pick

- mrhattrick27

all reviews of him generally point to bust (brassard that is).

this is because of the 50 contract thing:

AGrossRecord: As part of Gaborik trade, D Steven Delisle, 22, and D Blake Parlett, 23, headed to Jackets.

You were ok with a 7.5 million dollar, 3rd line RW? If you were then you could kiss Mcdonagh goodbye, because a team would have signed him to a huge offer sheet.
