If we were not going to use Hainsey this year at all shouldn't we have shopped him around. In hindsight we could have probably got Federov for Hainsey.

I don't know the rules, so please explain how that could have happened.

It couldn't happen. It is impossible because we could not have absorbed the salary. Columbus made the deal because they could. They also gave up more than Hainsey, although Burke did admit that it was a fire sale move to allow them to pursue free agents next summer.

There should of been a way to keep Hainsey as an asset by using him in a trade later or keeping him on the farm until next seasons start then taking another look. The way Gainey dealt with it was turning a first round asset into a debit!

Well Hainsey looks good tonight in his first game good for him
