MTL trade is a done deal.

you would rather have Emelin over Bouwmeester?

JBo has lost a step after the injury that broke his iron man streak. He's still the better player of the two, but he's paid more and has 1 more year of term than Emelin. If the value is really that far off, you should know that my original draft was Bouw for Emelin and Scherbak. Basically, looking at how our D prospects are developing, and combining that with the move I made here to get Hutton, it makes sense for Bouw to be shipped out before his contract is up.

Pietrangelo should get you more than Duchene imo. I don't see a reason he'll be moved either way

Agreed, he isn't going anywhere.

Agreed. Pie is a top pairing dman on virtually any team he'd go to. You don't trade that away for a forward unless he's a unanimous number 1 centre like a Crosby, Tavares, etc. Otherwise just keep him.
