acquired forward Mikhail Grabovski from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for the rights to Greg Pateryn and a 2nd-rnd draft pick in 2010
Grabovski. We gave up a 2nd and our 5th rounder from this year, but what we received is someone who has the ability to compete a level higher than any of our current prospects and is projected Top 6 material. We are not rebuilding, we are reloading with players in their 20's that are highly skilled. The general rule is your first round picks should be in your Top 6 Forward/Top 4 Defensemen. Your second and third round picks should be serviceable NHL players with a CHANCE to break into the Top 6/Top 4 and the rest will fight for a roster spot.
