Jim Nill's acquisition of Tyler Seguin from Boston is one of the best trades in recent NHL history

Heika: I think getting Tyler Seguin at his age was an absolute steal. The fact he is among the top five in the NHL in scoring over the last three seasons makes it one of the best trades in recent NHL history.

Getting Mattias Janmark and Mattias Backstrom for Erik Cole was also a smart trade.

Signing Antti Niemi to a three-year deal for $3.5 million doesn't look too good right now. We'll see if it gets better, but the existence of the contract means it's very difficult to find a better option in goal.
