This is nowhere near the worst trade ever too. Jesus christ calm down. Stuart brings a whole lot, and Sturm is pretty damn good. What do you want in return Patrick Marleau as well???

They didnt even get a prospect or draft pick..Sturm has had a 48 point season...Joe 100..you're taking away all the offensive production, and replacing it with two forwards that combined will not equal what he gets. Also consider the fact Joe sets up more goals for other players..he creates room for other players. You never lose a franchise player, and dont get something big back in return. They didnt even get a guy with the possibility of becoming elite. Sure, the Pens did the same with Jagr, but they couldnt at all afford him in those times, they had no choice.
On a financial scale, this deal doesnt even make sense..they save only about 1.8 million.
They got hosed.
