I'm a little disappointed in the trade, would have rather we went for a real upgrade like Myers, guess the asking price is too high. I'll still dream of a Myers/Oleksiak as a twin towers pair.
The real story here is Klingberg, very excited about this guy. I would have been happy for a solid player, but he looks to have the most offensive upside as any D man on the team. Still early to compare to 56, but it's possible.
The money is a little high for Spezza, but short term, and after giving up assets to get him, small overpay is OK.
