Steckel-Dupuis-Brown

Steckel immediately improves our PK. Size is a huge bonus. Faceoffs are going to help bigtime in all areas. Can also help on the wing!

Zigomanis must be thinking "What do I have to do to catch a break around here?"

Yes, no and maybe. I doubt this trade is a sign of anything to come or connected to any other potential deals. It was an opportunity to fill a need for cheap. Plain and simple.
CarltonTheBear said:Frank E said:So...Dupuis's done? Or Bozak?
I'd imagine a full team will look something like this:
Lupul-Connolly-Kessel
Kulemin-Grabovski-MacArthur
Lombardi-Bozak-Armstrong
Dupuis-Steckel-Brown
Orr
Frattin and Rosehill stay up while Connolly and MacArthur are out of the line-up.

RedLeaf said:Captain Canuck said:Good at winning face-offs, but thats about it. It seems like this is just a deal to set up another one of more significance IMO.
Like what....Dupuis for a 3rd rounder?
Seriously though. How does this set up a bigger trade? It's a 4th liner for a 4th round pick.
Saint Nik said:I can't pretend to know a ton about him but the numbers look good. I wonder a little bit about his purchase price/availability but I suppose if the financial stories about the Devils are true this may be a spot where they were looking to reduce their payroll a little.
It seems as though consensus is that he squeezes Frattin out of the lineup for now? That's interesting as people seemed pretty high on him but obviously Frattin's a guy who could probably get some more seasoning as well.

Lamoriello on trade:"It certainly frees up a roster spot for a combination of us looking into seeing what we can do with Petr Sykora.."

Lamoriello cont: "...also the young players Henrique and Tedenby and Brad Mills, Cam Janssen, I think they?ve warranted being on the roster"

Busta Reims said:I think Frattin was gone once MacArthur's suspension was dealt with and Connolly is good to go (assuming no other injuries). Acquiring Steckel maybe moves that process up a week.

Saint Nik said:Seems a little weird that there won't be any high profile rookies on the club but I guess that's maybe par for the course when jobs are on the line.

Well, there's Gardiner.
