Reading the boards in Edmonton it seems a good 60-40 they like trade. Quite a few like the trade BUT they recognize Paajrvi had a much better second half than first and they are wondering if the Oilers are giving up on him too soon.

Blues had to move salary. Teams were not lined up to give us super stars anyway. This is probably the best DA could do and we get the 2nd round pick and the POTENTIAL for a steal with MP.

One thing, contrary to the first things I read......the fans up there are saying he is not super physical and he does not clog in the net.

Gonna be a different look next year. I think it's all for the better. Thing is, are we really staying pat with Halak and Elliott??
