Gragnani to Carolina...

1 year 800k, guess Vancouver didnt like him...

Thanks for Hodgson and Sulzer though!

Yeah really, sweet deal.

I'm pretty sure replacing him with one of the best FA defencemen on the market will make it ok. Enjoy Sulzer. I'm sure given a chance he can be a decent d-man. I know he had 8 points in 15 games but until he does it for a whole season, I'm not ready to call it a big loss.

We received a couple of good players... and the Canucks recived a defensemen who can't play D and was benched, plus a young forward that sat in the press box during the playoffs.

That trade was one-sided in our favor.

I wouldn't call this trade one-side just yet. The players we got back need to show more before we can call this a steal. The jury is still out on this trade...

Exactly. When the Sabres still had a chance for the playoffs, in the 4 games before the final game the Sabres went 1 win and 3 losses, and Hodgson was a -5 and had 1 assist. He hardly played well for the Sabres.

Plus Gragnani and Sulzer were throw ins in that trade. You can't say because a guy who didn't even play for buffalo can walk into vancouver and play right away makes it a one sided trade. There is a little difference in talent level there.

A lot of people played like crap those last 5 games. Sekera Especially. Ennis has some bad games too.
