Florida and Chicago Trade

[Chilly_Willy]

To Chicago -> Michael Frolik and goalie Alexander Salak,
To Florida -> Jack Skille, and prospects Hugh Jessiman and David Pacan.

Not a big blockbuster for discussion but what caught me is I think Florida got taken to the cleaners on this deal. I think what tips it is Salak, has a lot of potential but was pretty much guaranteed bench time with Markstrom on the horizon. IMO grate move by Chicago, I think Florida undervalued Salak in this trade but time will tell.

If I had Crawford on my team I would be looking to get Salak on my farm stat.

Haha read through the content there and I still don't think the complete ownage of Florida on this trade was really discussed. This is candidate for worst trade of the season IMO. I guess it really does depend on Salak carrying his success into NHL which is no guarantee.

Whats even more surprising is to see something written in 2011 containing "Jessiman" and "Prospect" in the same sentence without the either the word "Bust" or "Failed" appearing as well
