There was a time where I thought Hults still had the ability to contribute in the NHL one day. Guess that's not the case anymore.

Now TB can give him a fresh start, while ANA has the contract spots to let Lundestrom and Comtois stay. ANA wins in the short run. They could lose in the long run if Hults becomes something decent, or they could win in the long run if keeping Lundestrom and Comtois proves beneficial for their development.

Wow that's a huge analysis for such a minor trade...

Coolio. Free player with some upside.

Yeah. So even if ANA wins in both the short run and long run, TB does not "lose" in any way.

Those mysterious future considerations...
Let me guess free lunch for the GM?
