Michalek actually had 34 assists last year so he's obviously the biggest asset the Sens got in return. If Cheechoo can regain any of that goal scoring touch it's not a terrible trade for the Sens.

2 top 6 guys without all the crying to Ottawa for a big baby making 7 mil and unwilling to work for his job..... rule of thumb is the team that gets the better player wins the trade but 2 top 6 guys and one having high potential is a big deal...... 2nd round pick if played right could also comeback to haunt.... two top 6 for a disgruntled whiner and the same salary going both ways.... no clear cut winner on this deal yet IMO!

not that bad of a trade if the senator could have gotten a 1st rd pick they would have one hands down Michalek is a good forward with a lot of speed
