As september 9th arrives I find myself looking at two new trades in the NHL. they are as followed.
This trade here is what I believe to be Toronto trying to get a better Defence core (much needed) while giving up a decent offensive brute style player to the wild.
The two younger centres will most likely never play much in the NHL or be a 4th liner.
The second trade is.
This trade here is a little more confusing to me on the end of Edmonton who is getting a very unproven potential player (something they have so much of already) and giving up a player who has proven to be able to put up decent numbers. I give this trade win to the Panthers and shake my head at the GM of the Edmonton Oilers!
