To RM: Shane Doan Kyle Turris Kyle Quincey BS 1st HL 1st PAT 2nd TO ON7: Mike Richards Duncan Keith GM reactions after some intense negociations with many names being tossed around until the final deal was struck. RM: ” [its] gonna sting a little bit losing Richards/Keith, but there are some great young guys coming up in the draft so we feel as though it ws the right time to make this deal” ON7: “It was our strategy all seaon long to trade our vetran players for draft picks and prospects in order to put ourselves in a position to make a deal like this. The emergence of Tavares, Duchene and Myers allowed us to move our top picks, and our farm team is full of young guys that we feel are as good as anyone we would have drafted in those spots, so it made sense to make a move.” The ON7 GM had this to say before leaving, “we are not done, we still have some work to do and some holes to fill, this will not be the only blockbuster before the next season” February 19, 2010 – 9:55am
