Necas is not a centre.

Giving Bertuzzi for him is a disaster of a trade.

I agree and I don't know about you but I'd rather see how Zadina does under a new coach before making this trade. That being said if he is still struggling at the TDL that is when he gets traded.

Wings pass, retention and a pick for an underachiever and a cap dump and then trading zadina for no reason at all

Canes pass. Necas will be used to get an upgrade on the forward core. Not to move out Gardiner and take back a guy that can't play in Canada

I feel the same way about Comer to be honest. Prospect (or young player) for Prospect (or young player) trades are extremely rare because they have a tendency to make one side look like a bunch of idiots, and the other look like the smartest folks around. Comtois *should* be back at full strength heading into this season. The early season hand injury and subsequent surgery was *likely* the main culprit in his poor season. Not to mention the ridiculous usage that Eakins was running him for most of the season. You guys are lucky that you finally cut ties with a bad coach-we're still stuck with one here.

terrible value for Bertuzzi..We are giving you the better player, but not only that were giving you a 2nd rounder...but not only that, we are also giving you Cap help by taking on Gardiner?

Come on...

hahah and NOT ONLY THAT, I just noticed on second glance that you have us retaining on Bertuzzi. I think you meant to put Aho in the trade or something.
