    This.

    Forsberg is a 1st rounder and Erat is well Martin fucking Erat. There has to be a reason the Caps have soured so much on Forsberg to trade him for Erat.

    Quite the mystery round these parts. I don't know enough about Erat but I do know they've had wood for Forsberg since they took him. And Michael Latta isn't moving the meter.
    Erat sounds like an OK player, like so many they already have. Caps don't need OK. You trade a top prospect, you better get a big return. They need another scary scorer and a defenseman who scares people.

    I'm sure Flames fans are doing a bit of a spit take right now, considering the low returns they got for both Iginla and Bouwmeester. Feaster should be canned for this alone.

    Marian Gaborik for a couple of stiffs and a bag of pucks?!?!?!

    Looks like the Rangers are punting.

    As a Wild fanboi, glad to have Jason Pominville on board. But, giving up a first-rounder? Ouch!

    Not that anyone other than Huggy, HC & I care but Pens trade former Brampton Battalion goalie Patrick Kileeen to the Blue Jackets. Huggy may disagree but Killeen may have been the most consistent goalie The Troops ever had. And he got better every year

    Played on that great team with Cody Hodgson & Matt Duchene that lost to Windsor in the OHL Final.

    Still convinced that bringing in Thomas McCollum to replace Killeen as the #1 goalie was a huge mistake. He never won a game for the Troops in the playoffs.

    Not quite there Mark. Brassard has a ton of skill and was a high draft pick, but like many players, was not able to make it go in Columbus. Moore was a 21st overall pick in 2009, is six-foot-three and 202 pounds, and according to the Hockey News, is a terrific skater with PPQB potential, needs to work on adapting to the NHL game, but is still young yet. He`s a pretty good prospect and Dorsett's a servicable third/fourth liner. Now I think the Blue Jackets did win this, big believer in the team that gets the best player in the deal almost always win the trade, but it's not like they got completely fleeced.

    Sweet, thanks. Interesting they already have Forsberg as Nashville's highest rated prospect

    I don't know anything about that. I just know I read it from time to time and it seems to be comprehensive at least. I'm sure you hosers have some better sites up there.
