<Censored> this trade. Ballard is solid but Canucks overpaid. His contract is a bit big too.

The first rumor sounded fair then when Grabner was thrown in it swung in Florida's favour.

Exactly. Gillis is overvaluing Ballard. Oh well Canucks still has some forward prospects. I might start cheering for panthers cuz of grabner.
