TO MINNY
GROSSMAN(82)

TO COLUMBUS
MINNY 2ND ROUND 2012(PICK#32)

Right now a d man short and Grossman should fill in nice on 2nd or 3rd line

thanks for the deal

Columbus accepts.

As it stands now, I only have 6 spots for 8 or 9 defensemen and I'd rather pick up a pretty decent asset than let Grossman rot with his really low salary and high CON. Grossman's probably better than nearly all of the defensemen left in the draft, at least more balanced than the majority of them, so this is a pretty fair deal.

Trade approved.

See Ellerby for 18 transaction approved yesterday. Grossman is cheaper, with more offense, better consistency, and slightly less hitting.
