Montreal - Tampa Bay

[Jets GM]

To MTL: Jan Hejda (85), Petteri Nokelainen (76) and 2nd LA 2013

To TB: David Clarkson (70), Zach Budish (66) and Josh Gorges (73)

[Montreal Canadiens]

Confirmed.

Clarkson I believe plays about 8-9 minutes a night, I think Nokelainen can play the same role and is a tad cheaper. Nemeth is out 4 months, so Hejda can help soften that blow, how hard is it to play alongside Chara?. Is an upgrade over Subban. Budish was one of my personal favs in the organization believe it or not. Not that he's a superstar, but good hitter and loves to score big AHL goals. I've got quite a bit of AHL D Depth so Gorges was able to be moved.

Thanks Justin.

[Jets GM]

Accepted.

Reasoning: Hejda's lackluster attributes paired with a excellent CON combine for a very underrated defensemen, Nokelainen is a very cheap and dependable bottom 6 forward. Both will be missed. However it sucked losing David Clarkson this off-season, not only was he a real piece of our teams identity.....he is the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP OF THE WORLD. We lost tons of depth in recent deals, so Budish is a great add and will join Mr. Clarkson in our long term plans.

gl MTL pleasure as always.
