I do like this trade for Florida. A great boost in futures. Greenway is gunna be killa! 

 

I have to admit, added to Tierney leaving a day or so ago? I also think its very nice to see the playoff roster of a division rival shrinking. :lol:

He did win it all though - which is really hard to do!

 

I think in his position, I'd also lean towards hanging my hat on the accomplishment, and take the opportunity to retool.

Good deal for Stevie Y.

Gets great value for a fathead.

Gets an exempt high end D prospect (something Tampa needed in their system - they have no shortage of forward talent).

Is able to protect Namestnikov as a result of this deal.

And if he doesn't rush Sergachev, he bags a 2nd as well.

Very good and timely move by Yzerman.

I genuinely think it works for both sides. That is just a good old fashioned high octane hockey trade. Everything that Oldnews said there is true. But on the other side:

 

Habs trade the equivalent of a 1st and a 2nd for a 22 year old who scored 55 points last year. For reference that is less than the wild paid for a Hanzal rental. They take advantage of Tampa bay being up against the wall in both cap and expansion draft in order to pry loose a dynamic young top line scorer without weakening their current team at all. Sergachev is a good prospect, but hasn't proved anything. If he doesn't work out, moves to the KHL, or even becomes average, then the Habs crushed the trade. 

 

Drouin is instantly the 2nd highest scorer on a team that desperately needed scoring last year. Instead of playing the same team and hoping to score more, they went out and aggressively targeted the highest scoring player that was available. Who also happens to be 22, and will be part of the team for a long time moving forward. 

 

It is also worth noting that for all Drouin's perceived "personality issues" due to the hold out, that is unlikely to be an issue in Montreal. His initial quote is "This is my dream. My childhood dream come true." He wants to be there as much as they want him. 

 

I do agree that it also fits perfectly for the lightning though. That is the great young D that they have wanted, and it fixes all of their cap and expansion stress. Just a good deal all around.

Thanks for giving Namestnikov to me even though you got yourself a good player yourself in Zuccarello :P. Feels like we did that deal just yesterday. I say that was a win win deal for both teams. You wanted to bolster your playoff run hopes which you almost pulled off while we were going towards the youth direction and acquiring young talent with star potential. Good deal for both parties I'd say

ah, I was drinking some of Sestito's vodka.....literally

 

So then, on that note, the Jets are open and looking to add prior to the deadline - particularly a forward upgrade if there are teams looking to move a forward prior to expansion.

Hey, I'm pretty sure it was @Sygvard who told you. I'm not nearly dumb enough to every say anything that can be used against me
