With adding of Greenway and Stillman it was more a matter of time until Asplund was going to loose the rosterspot (then Dahlin and/or Tuch is back). So instead of loosing him on waivers they got a 7th round draft pick.
On this trade I see Nashville win. If you combine Greenways trade with Asplunds trade, Buffalo paid Asplund+2and+5th for Greenway and a 7th. Greenway add things that Buffalo need, but the price was high. A 2nd and a 5th for Greenway is OK/fair but Buffalo knew they lost Asplund at the same time.
I guess Buffalo tried to get Asplund in the deal to Minnesota, but by adding Klingberg and Sundqvist it was one to many swedes in the roster... I guess Minnesota did not have a need for Asplund.
