My thoughts on the recent Sens-Canes trade:

Joe Corvo was great on the powerplay but had a ton of defensive slip-ups and led to alot of untimely goals. We have enough firepower on the PP with our forwards, and hopefully Redden and Meszaros will be able to hold the PP together in Corvo's abscence. Adding Commodore gives us some much needed size, and will hopefully cut down on the garbage goals our D has been letting though in recent weeks.  
 
Patrick Eaves is a good young player, but really won't be missed too badly, we were able to keep Vermette who I feel is much better, and we still have alot of other young talent with Foligno and Kelly. Adding Stillman should provide some much needed secondary scoring, along with some good leadership.  
 
The fact that both Stillman and Commodore are up for Free Agency while Corvo and Eaves still had some contract time left is one big downside...but we needed some changes and especially some players with proven playoff experience as this playoff run should hopefully turn out well.  
 
All in all I'm happy with the trade, we'll have to wait and see how it pans out...I think they'll both be in Sens jerseys tonight against Buffalo!
