I always surprised by teams giving a first-rounder and prospects for someone who could be a rental for just a few months. Regardless, I like the moves Atlanta made even though they gave up a lot. Tkachuk should fit in nicely there and Zhitnik will give them some help on the PP. I think Detroit could be a big winner if they get something out of Bertuzzi. If not, they didn't give up too much. I just saw this a little bit ago because I wasn't at a computer for a while, but I was sad to see Edmonton give up Smyth. The guy's such a strong leader and has been such a huge part of that team. Pronger ripped the heart out of their fans with his wife demanding a trade now seeing Smyth go.
