Didn't want to lose any of my top D, but decided I could get the best return for MDZ, even though I'm left without a true #1 blueliner. Hard to pass up three first round picks, even if they don't get me into the top ten in tomorrow's draft! I get more bargaining position for future trades, or just use them and build up my depth. Kuehnhackl can still develop into a nice scorer, even if he won't set the world on fire. Marleau has played well for me, but the writing's been on the wall for a while now.
Good doing business with you, Chris.
