I also took a look at this over at my site (click the link there), and the Phaneuf trade now looks like this:

Phaneuf, Aulie, Sjostrom for Babchuk (UFA), Hagman and Stajan. holy fuck.

We know two things: Shitty Hockey and Booze.

kosto

A niggling point perhaps but you don’t get Kosto straight across for Brett Sutter; so White helped gain that asset. Still not much I know.

At least the Karlsson deal looks like a win, may be the only one I could really feel comfortable calling that. If Babchuk is re-signed and plays better than last year, than that one could be one too.

Kosto is a solid player though, for sure.
