Nice trade for the Ducks.

This trade reeks of "the owner made me do it"

I'm starting to think Kekkaleine is collecting every washed up grinder in the league.

That Clarkson thing was a neck twister for sure but Karlsson is a solid aquisition

bad trade for columbus

Too many #Hartnell Downs?

Great return for a contract I really wanted to get rid of. I like Wiz and admire that he wanted to stay, but I won't miss him and this gives us some added forward depth.

How is a 22 yr old a washed up grinder?

Hartnell is okay. I'm referring to Clarkson.

bad return

Des and Wiz, g'dammit Anaheim. They've addressed their main weakness and will now be nearly impossible to beat in 7

bad return

So, swapping a 3rd for a 2nd and then Wiz for two forwards and over $1mil in cap space is bad return lol....

Bourque is only earning 2.5 for next year (after he's UFA), if Jarmo wanted to dump salary he did a good job at it.

Anaheim will probably have a late pick, and CBJ an early one, basically moving CBJ up 10-15 spots, give or take. Bourque should have had minimal trade value, and Karlsson isn't a great prospect. Had Wiz not blocked them, I'm sure Detroit would've given up way more.

Especially considering re-signing Cam and possibly letestu/calvert. Not to mention the cap space you'll need to resign Boone next year. I like the trade. Wiz can do some great things, but the bottom line is that contract was looking uglier and uglier.

Karlsson is the key to the trade, McKenzie and Dreager think he has potential...

I hate to see Wiz go, but at least he has a chance at the cup. Borque will be dumped ASAP.

Who knows if it s good deal or not?

That's pretty boss deal for the Ducks.

They gave up about fraction of what the Rangers did for Yandle for a player that's probably 85-90% as good.

Sorry, that's a fantasy. Wiz is not in the same class at Yandle. If he was the CBJ would be keeping him.

He does have some defensive laps.

i'm sorry but we just got rid of the biggest overrated defenseman that columbus has ever had. dude is a turnover king and can't hit a pass to a moving forward to save his life.but must admit he has a laser of a shot that usually finds it's way threw. count me in the crowd that is happy he is gone. thank you jarmo
