Jeff Halpern (73)
MIN 2nd 2011 (32nd overall)
To Minnesota:
Fedor Tyutin (73)
Reasoning: Jeff Halpern is a cheaper replacement to Pahlsson and a player that I've wanted in the file for a while. He gives me a veteran presence in what will be a pretty young bottom 6 and replaces a little of the leadership I lost with Smyth. Tyutin just hasn't played all that well for me despite being rated well and I can just use Salei to fill out my bottom pairing until Krejci is ready or if I find something on the free agent market.
Sorry that this delayed the draft. Steve replied to my PM at 1:42 a.m. and I was already asleep. My apologies.
I'll give Steve a little while to confirm before I post so we can move this along, but his response to me was
