SAN JOSE sends:

Jonathan Drouin
Andrew Cogliano
4th (SJS) - 2015



Well, I thought I was done with the big deals, looking forward to rich depth. The way I see it is I get the best player but lose a lot of solid depth for my team. I hope Drouin is at least a PPG player. I feel all 3 forwards I am losing will be 60 pt players on avg once they hit their groove. I do pick up a nice piece for SHP which is an area of lack. SJS gets his high pick back as well as one of my high end defencemen who will be in the show next year. It is quite possible, every piece acquired by SJS is playing next year. Anyway, good luck on the build.

I confirm the deal!

As a team looking to rebuild/re tool it absolutly pains me to move drouin, however I am more stocked up on the wings and am in bad shape on D and especially center

I add a top 6 player in Bjustad who is young and getting better and to other solid propsects

Getting the 2nd back further helps my rebuild

Good tAlks Ian
