Great presentation but this trade is absolutely brutal, just brutal. One of the worst I've seen as far as fleecing the CPU.
Backstrom is arguably one of the top 5 players and easily a top 10 player in the league and you gave up peanuts.
If Buffalo was looking to pick up Backstrom any package would have to start with Vanek, Myers or the Caps GM hangs up.Comment
