Tough to argue with the Red Wings. Stevie Y did extremely well. Would have been a bonus to move a few other guys out (ie. Glendening), but you’d only be getting late round picks

Hon mention to the Leafs, who addressed every single need they had, while their only real competition in the division (EDM and WPG) sat on their hands. Huge deadline for Dubas

Yzerman fleeced the Caps on the Mantha deal, It was the single greatest deal of the day. Stevie Y made a masterful trade.

I really do not think the Caps got fleeced.

They're an aging team that probably only has a few years left on their Cup window. They got the best player in the deal, on an affordable contract with three years left on it, and also unloaded a contract for a player they weren't really using and would have probably been an obstacle in a flat cap environment, especially if they want to get a few more solid kicks at the can.

You could argue that the Caps paid too much to make a relatively minor upgrade. I think I would agree with that criticism myself. But I definitely wound not say they got fleeced. Mantha is really really good and I think he is going to fit in very well in that system.

EDIT: In short, I think I would grade this as potentially a win-win, although I would generally agree that it's a bigger win for Detroit than for Washington.
