Agreed. Thanks for the talks Shoalzie.

Loaded trade with middle of the lineup pieces. Mark gets some needed GP help. He should be able to benefit from LaDue potentially getting more playing time with the Muzzin trade.

My main thing is getting Abdelkader as an upgrade on Rieder. Plus, I've got so many Oilers on my team...wanted to shake that up. Cave would've been a nice depth player to keep but hard to say what his long-term future is in the league. Since Nugent-Hopkins is likely moving back to center at the next review, I'll have 5 centers again.

Hoping this solves my GP issue. I've a full roster of ''should be contributors''... hoping everything works out now. Just need to stay healthy.

Seems like a fair deal
