Detroit Red Wings:
Traded away a player that should have no trade value and who you might as well place on waivers.
Got a 4th round pick for retaining 1.062 million in salary when the Leafs got only a 5th round pick for retaining 1.1 million on Lehner.

Traded away a 1st round pick with no lottery protections + a 3rd + a 4th for ...
A player that should have no trade value and who you might as well place on waivers ...
And ...
A 2nd/3rd pairing defenceman who is a pending UFA, who has regressed significantly from last year and who is on the wrong side of 30.

I voted for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
