i think the howden trade was one of those trades where its hard to pick a winner cause each team got something it really needed. TBL got a top 4 dman that can take a tremendous burden off of heddy. This will give Heddy a chance at a longer and more successful career IMO as he wont be asked to play 30+ minutes a night. There is obvious concern with the length of the mcdonough deal but for my money hes been the best defenseman on the ice more games then heddy has this year. And JT Miller has been a solid piece for the time being, he may be the odd man out at the end of this year but hes providing high end skill to pair with the young grinders which helps us to produce goals at the crazy rate we are currently. The NYR got a (What i believe) 2nd line center with all the heart in world, good size and skill and 3 years of ELC for him to grow and learn the game. TBL had center depth and NYR had players that were gonna be up for big contracts on a team that wasnt positioned to be a true cup contender so each team got a big benefit out of this trade. The ole Win Win if you will.

I have a feeling Libor Hajek will be the big win for NYR a few years down the road.
