B's Acquire Schaefer
Latrappe beat me to it. I haven't been on the comp all day and was listening to all stations but WEEI who broke the news to me.
An absolute great deal by PC. I was thinking Donovan to land us a late pick, but to acquire a potential top 6 winger is great. PC knows Peter Scheafer, who is 29, from Ottawa, so he knows what he is getting.
Ottawa was trying to clear space, so but taking Donovan's .925 cap hit vs Scheafer's 2.1 over the next 3 seasons is why.
Like in my previous posts, it seemed the B's had a logjam of okay players. Cleared that up.
Schaefer had 20 goals and 30 assists 2 years ago, and last season had 12 goals and 34 assists.
Only concern is cap hit, but if the guy can score 25, he is well worth it.
Sturm-Savard-Murray
Schaefer-Bergeron-Bochenski
Axlesson/Chistov-Kessel-Kobasew
Thornton-Mowers-Reich

I like the deal. With regard to your line pairings - I am hesitant to split up Bergy and Sturm, but hey, give it a shot. I think Schaefer and Bochenski were in Ottawa at the same time, maybe they will pair well on either side of Bergy.
I'm a big fan of this deal. Schaefer will be a good second line scorer and is used to playing on a fast paced offense. I think he'll work well with Bergy and Bochenski on the second line. With the addition of scott thornton, donovan was definately expendable.
donovan was the biggest pussy. thank God hes gone
I wonder if Lewis will send flowers to Donovan...
Not only Lewis but Mowers too.
It's SHAWN Thorton not scott. Will people ever get it right?
hey before you go correcting people...learn to spell thornton you dumbass
dump MOWERS
Not sure the Schaefer is necessarily first line caliber, but I'd like to see him play with Murray and Savard. Schaefer will work the boards well, Savard will come get it, dish it off to Murray the shooter, and it seems to work on paper. Hope he can play up whith that caliber of talent on ice.

Schaefer is not a first line caliber but he will fit well on the second line and third one. This guy will help us both on defense and offense. A huge upgrade over Donovan who was a net loss on the ice and on the roster.
I agree, dump Mowers. I think Lucic-Reich-Thornton would be the toughest 4th line in hockey, and could even put up some points
