This is a good job by Danny Briere. He got three players and three draft picks for Ivan Provorov and a guy who played for the Phantoms last season. Excellent way to start the rebuild, a creative and aggressive type of move. Chuck Fletcher would have never done something like this. Chuck may not even be aware that you can do multi-team deals.

Onward and upward. Still need the details on that reported/rumored Carter Hart move. A new era of orange. This is the way.
