Jets/Panthers swap (minor trade)

[dash]

George Richards of the Miami Herald is tweeting the following:

#FlaPanthers just traded former first round pick Kenndal McArdle to Winnipeg for Angelo Esposito

Esposito was projected to go #1 at one point in the 2007 entry draft (Pens drafted him later in the first round in that entry draft)

Hahahah, Esposito. Still LOL at that Hossa trade. Now they have NOTHING left and we have a very capable everyday NHL player in Dupuis.

EDIT: Actually, they had a draft pick as well? I think?

slipped to #20, iirc. very well traveled for "the next, next one"
he's a case where his junior career was greatly helped by playing with Radulov.
Once Radulov left, he was exposed as 'not quite as special as everyone thought'.


/I just praying that's not the case with Cody Hodgson and his junior linemate Matt Duchene.

Florida also acquired Sergei Shirokov from the Canucks today...

#Canucks trade the rights of Sergei Shirokov to Florida for the rights of Mike Duco.
