It's a 2nd and a 3rd. They accepted. Cap troubles pressured them.

Well you changed the trade but it i'm pretty sure you did Vlasic with about 750,000 in retention for Tatar

All I really need to tell you is that if we get a CBO we will most likely buyout Vlasic, so why would we be able to get a player on pace for over 70 points on a great contract for Vlasic one for one.

Ya, I changed it. Now Montreal will have two 1st Round picks (theirs and TB's), and we get Tatar. I never wanted to lose Pickles anyway, so it worked out.

I also fixed the Kapanen controversy, got us a 4th for Sorensen, bought the rights to sign Adin Hill instead of signing Khudobin, and managed to get the active roster to 23. I feel pretty good about this lineup, it's tough, skilled, and deep. If the rookies work out like the way Ferraro did it will last us through the playoffs and hopefully the SC Final.
