Major Trade Between Detroit and New York Rangers
Ovechkin, Halak two major players

Acquire
C Matt Duchene
LW David Booth
G Jaroslav Halak
2012 1st Round Pick

Acquire
C Andrew Cogliano
LW Alexander Ovechkin
G Jose Theodore

"We really saw after that last game how bad our situation in goal was, it was a difficult decision to trade away a great talent like Ovi but in the long run I think this will be better for the team getting a great young center in Matt (Duchene) and a goalie who can be solid for us for years to come in Jaroslav (Halak)" - Red Wings GM on the trade.
