If your like me, you probably reacted to the Jordan Staal trade the same way a kid does when his parents tell him they're getting divorced. I admit, I am still shocked and trying to process just how much I am going to miss big gronk and what I'm going to do with my #11 jersey, but then I read an article on CBSSports that made me feel a tad better. Here's the link:

Getting a guy like Sutter (who I knew nothing about previously) makes me a tad more okay with the trade. I still think we screwed the pooch with the #8 pick, but Pouliot did play for my favorite WHL team (GO WINTERHAWKS!!!) so that kind of softened the blow. Now please, can anyone tell me who the hell this Dumoulin guy is?!?
