then that works well for leafs fans since they are in no danger of losing in the first round for at least another 3 years while upping their golf game!
They gave up their #1 Draft from last year and #1 pick for next year.
If they don't win the cup this year, then they might be screwed.
There's not way they can afford Crosby, Malkin (who's got 1 year left after next year) and Hossa.
Their No. 1 picks are going to be low first rounders and really after the first five or six picks it becomes a crap shoot....so the draft picks are really nothing.
Other then that pittsburg looses a couple lifetime third liners and a young prospect is Espisito who IMO won't pan out to be anything better then a third liner.
I think Pittsburg has made a good deal here and I think they have taken the fire out of Montreal and Ottawa with this trade.

All i'm saying is that Hossa won't last, maybe next year, and thats it.
Just think about these salaries:
Crosby: $9.00 Million for 2008-2009
Hossa: $7.00 Million for 2007-2008 (UFA)
Malkin: 984,000 for 2008-2009 (RFA) in 2009-2010
Malkin will be probably be asking for $10M for his contract negotiation.
There is NO room at all for Hossa at the end of this year on Pittsburgh.
Not to mention Gonchar makes $6.0 MIllion next year.
