Flames receive: Joel Armia (BUF - W) Trevor Lewis (LA - C) 2013 2nd (NJ)
Devils receive: Jeff Carter (LA - W) Brad Boyes (NYI - W) 2014 4th (CGY)
It tough to trade the guy who might of single handedly won me the title last year but since I'm 20+ points out of a playoff spot I thought I could use this opportunity to get younger with talent. Boyes is having a great year and could be the difference maker in Jerseys playoff run but I wasn't comfortable with his inconsistency.
Armia is ripping apart the Finnish league and its not like Buffalo has much in front of him to stop him from seeing some serious minutes within a year or 2 and Lewis has progressed nicely in L.A's lineup.

yes i accept. a few days in the making and waiting but worked out in the end.
I think this will be a very interesting trade for both teams. really didnt like moving armia as like CGY said his future looks bright and is a pure goal scorer. BUT i felt that acquiring a young goal scorer already set in the NHL in Carter was the right move for my team.
My team is in serious need of GOALS, GWG, and PPP which carter brings a boat load of those. as well as shots and the fows.
The addition of boyes wasnt my original plan but he is still only in his young 30's and if he can resign on the Island and play with Tavares he could still be useful for another few seasons.
Lastly lol.. lewish was a ww addition when injuries hit but has panned out. looks like he is turning his stats around and can be a nice depth player.
for this deal i will be dropping Jim O'brein to the farm team for now.
