I guess this is a fair trade,although I don't know the salaries of O'Brien/Krajicek.

Hm. Simek looks like a scrub and I'd take O'brien over Krajicek any day. I like what Vancouver gets a lot more.

Fair trade for both sides here

Wow! Barry Melrose getting rid of toughness for Euros. Never thought I'd see that.

Ouellet. As if Vancouver didn't have enough 3rd liners to begin with. Id take O'Brien over Krajicek though.

Great deal for Vancouver. O'Brien never should've been traded away from Anaheim, another bonehead move by Burke. He's developed into a pretty good 2-way 2nd pairing guy.

Eh, I don't know about 2nd pairing. He might not even be in the top 6 for Vancouver (granted their D is pretty solid but Krajicek was set to be #7). I'm kinda amazed by this but I guess Tampa really wants puck-moving D-men with the this and the Mezaros deal. They really don't have much power back there though. I think Carle is going to be a good one, he looks promising.
