I see Schneider as being a better goaltender than Helenius. I don't see Pouliot being any better than Bolland down the road. And I see Filpulla on Detroit's second line, not third. I have him pencilled in for 45 points this year. I hated to give up Okposo, but I got two guys that I like more than two that I gave away.

helenius is injury-prone, and schneider is a great goalie prospect.... so i would give the advantage to anaheim there.... however pouliot and okposo have the potential to be first line players, where as flippula is a third line guy and bolland i see as a second line guy tops for chicago....

I can explain it for him....my first will probably be top-10, the two firsts I am receiving will probably be later firsts, both teams are pretty solid and pretty young. From my point of view, I don't really like this year's draft, and would rather have two picks later in the 08 draft (our 09). Rex thinks higher of the talent in the top-10 of this draft.
Of this is all subject to the league confirming the two deals that Rex made.
in the last week the team turned raffi torres, rusty olesz, and 1 million they moved these assets for Danius Zubrus, Patrick Rissmiller, Jussi Jokinen, Brian Boyle, Chistoph Schubert, patrick macneil, phillipe seydoux/ Pho 2nd
