Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To New York Rangers: NJ 1st 2013, NYR 2nd 2013
To Montreal Canadiens: F David Booth [75], F Travis Moen [78]

Confirmed.

This deal works perfect for me. Moen will jump right in to the bottom six, and that way I don't have Nattinen playing (unless someone gets hurt). He has good CON, good LE, and can hit, while being signed to a relatively cheap deal.

Booth is currently injured, but should be back in late March / early April which will be just in-time for playoffs. I wasn't too hot with keeping Tangradi on my top line for playoffs. He's done a solid job thus far, with 27 points, +9 and a 7.30 average rating, however to compete with PIT,WSH, and CAR I felt I needed to upgrade my top 6.

My team is second in the league in goals for, but I felt I needed the upgrade. Booth has decent CON, can play either wing, and can really play anywhere in the line-up. Whether it be on a scoring line, or trapping, he's got the tools to play either strategy. He's locked in long-term at $4.25M, which for a player of his skill set I can handle.

Pleasure as always Pat, thanks, and GL.

Quite the transformation my team has taken this year, but I think I'm finally almost 100 % satisfied.

Rangers confirm.

Trading Booth wasn't something I was thrilled to do, but I think I get a good return for him. Moen never cracked my lineup on a regular basis. He should have added value to a playoff team.

Adding the picks will now give me four selections in the top 35-40 of this year's draft. We're definitely building for the future, and these two picks should bring me two good-to-very-good players.

In a nutshell: short term pain, long term gain. Good luck going forward, Brad.

Approved.

Pat has been piling up picks and prospects for awhile now. Brad fine tunes his roster for the postseason run.

Transferred Booth via players.ehm because of his injury.
