CHI / FLA deal

Florida agrees.

I don't love trading Cirelli, but I think this lets us run some interesting strategies that I wanted to try out. Tanev was an important part here, as he fits the kind of style I want to play, and him and Coleman together on a line will be a ton of fun. With Hamonic we've got five 87+ DF defensemen we can trot out there.

Juulsen is intriguing - not really sure how his lower PO will play out in re-rates, but he's already got some interesting ratings and with a good farm year could hopefully jump up to be a Siegenthaler-lite type player next season with a bit more of an edge, and after seeing how prospect creation pans out a bit, I actually quite like having another 2nd, even if it's late - should turn out a pretty interesting youngster. Everyone we're getting here was a player we had some interest in at the dispersal draft - perhaps not quite as much as Cirelli - but with Krebs and Lundell as blue-chip centre prospects waiting in the wings and Johansen fairly young still, we think our centre depth going forward will be OK.
