WPG - CGY

[GoJetsGo]

WPG sends:
Bjugstad (82)
Elsner (79)
Langkow (78)

CGY sends:
Huberdeau (78)
Pacioretty (82)

Reasoning:
Feel uneasy posting this trade as Bjugstad has been a huge piece for my team this season. However, that said my roster as constructed before this trade lacks a true big time offensive force. My hope is that Huberdeau combined with the group left behind provides more diversity. With hit and grind and trap restrictions in place next season the league will be more open. Huberdeau is better fit for the EHEC of 2012-13.

Accepted.

I like the idea of getting two guys who will be paid 400 000 for next season.
Bjugstad is the perfect fit on my team.
Langkow will help for this year's push.

I'm really enjoying myself here.

Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I knew of this deal well before the 11 pm deadline. From my AIM chat with Tommy:

Tom Kennish 10:45 pm
talking.. Bjugstad/Elsner/Langkow for Huberdeau/Pacioretty

Tom Kennish 10:56 pm
gotta go do my drop, we've got the deal in place can I do that and comeback and make the post?

yeah

I'm not going to punish somebody for having to do their job, one that involves handling money and definitely takes timeliness, just to post the trade prior to the deadline. I knew of it and it simply wasn't announced. That's pretty realistic, seeing as how the biggest deadline deals announced today were announced after the 3 pm deadline.

I know it's not the greatest practice to get in to, but I wanted to let everyone know that this deal was kosher and that I knew of it despite it's late posting.

Approved and entered.
