Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

To Minnesota:
Antti Saarela (80)

To Montreal:
David Gustafsson (76)

Accepted. Montreal has a desperate need of both good faceoff men and quality down the middle. Gustafsson is a good fit for 3C while we try to find a 2C solution. Saarela is an NHLer, but the Habs have a surprising number of similar NHL-ready prospects.

Happy to add the good Saarela brother, who has the consistency this front office craves.

(Sorry, right, yes— Accepted.)
