Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Edmonton
Paul Martin (78)

To Dallas
Tampa Bay 2nd round 2014

I accept this trade.

Explanation : It doesn't seem that I'd make the play-offs this year so I'm trying to clear some cap-space in my team and draft picks, prospects and youth is what I need for good rebuilding process.

Why my team is such in bad shape in the standings is my own fault. I haven't been around much this season until now. My team is better than what it has shown so far and I want to make trades to get better now; not to rebuild or think about next season.

I needed a puck moving, left-handed d-man and former Prime Minister Paul Martin will do the job just fine. At $3,6M, he does not come cheap but I got the space. We'll see what happens.

Could've tried and get Martin for something cheaper than a 2nd round pick but I wanted to get this done quick. Made my best offer right away and Dallas accepted.

Thanks for the easy dealing Martin! Good luck!

Accepted and entered.
