To : Niklas Backstrom G 34 6000000 2 44 79 80 77 79 80 79 79 61 79 78 70 74 78 79 78 To : Ilya Bryzgalov G 32 5666667 9 27 80 80 82 79 82 81 79 72 80 79 57 75 80 80 78 Was 1st I accept. While I lose the higher rated goalie, he just wasn't working out. This brings in fresh blood and loses a 9 year contract by giving up a (probably) late first. I like the length too, because it fits better with Lehners schedule

wtf....
WTF....
If Devils wanted to get rid of Bryzgalov, they could have waived him. Instead they get some shit goalie in return and lose a 1st round pick.
Minnesota should have been sending a 1st, not Devils....

Think of it more like a late 1st for Backstrom, and I lose bryzgalov for nothing (waivers would've been the same)

Who in the right mind would give up a first for backstrom?
Give away a free goalie. Then trade a first round pick for a downgraded old goalie. Sounds like a terrible trade.

And also, it is atrocious that niklas Backstrom is classified as a 'shit goalie' because of his rating. One of the top goalies in the NHL, except minny can't ever have a decent or healthy lineup in front of him.

I really have know idea where you are going with this one.

It sounds bad, but I refuse to struggle along with Bryzgalov. Stickhandling prowess doesn't help stop the puck. He wasn't stopping enough pucks and I needed a change

Oh I'm not going to ask to rerate Backstrom. I'm going to turn the reins over to Lehner in a season or two. Just a general observation that Backstrom shouldn't ever be able to be classified a a shit goalie. I also think Backstrom will play better than Bryzalov, and there really werent any other options outthere. I wanted a goalie who could play better than bryzgalov, and despite the ratings, I think Backstrom can. Maybe I'm wrong, but its worth the risk to me

Then trade Bryzgalov for Backstrom. That seems fair.

I don't see nothing wrong with this, it is overpayment but both teams got what they wanted
