To VAN:
Mats Zuccarello (NYI retains 50%)
To NYI:
Tyler Boucher (p)
Robin Salo (p)
Joni Jurmo (p)
For me this trade is all about cap space - and Boucher! Zuccarello has been struggling a bit, not playing up to his potential and certainly not up to his salary. Would have preferred to avoid the retention, but the payback vs another team offer without the retention was so much bigger with Boucher that I decided to go with it anyway. Thanx Aaron for the intense but good negotiations!
