Description

Nine new faces in the line up
The right side of the D has added some veteran leadership with size and grit.
Mitts/Comtois same age needing new starts, some probably don't agree on Mitts
Hopefully Holtby/UPL duo upgrades the goaltending
We add the 3 kids to the mix
Eller solidifies the 4th line center role
Didn't lose any assets other than a 4th rd pick

Asplund is already a better younger version of Eller. I don't see the point in trading for him.

Yeah, sounds like fun, but change of scenery trades typically make one GM look like a genius, and the other look like an idiot.

Comtois will be fine (drop 40+ points) with our new coach next year!
