Trade 1 - Anaheim gets a 3rd round pick from Boston in exchange for Stanislav Chistov.

Good trade. Chistov is dead weight and he's a huge slacker. Also frees up cap space.

Trade 2 - Anaheim gets George Parros from Colorado in exchange for a 2nd round draft pick.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, as I don't think Parros is worth a 2nd round pick, but Burke probably has something huge up his sleave, so I won't be too quick to question him.

Trade 3 - Anaheim gets a 4th round pick from Philladelphia in exchange for Todd Fedoruk.

This one stings a little bit. I really like Fedoruk and he's a great guy to have on the team but he was probably going to be out of commission for an extended period of time and with this being his 2nd facial injury in the last few years, he's also somewhat of a liability. Plus, it's good for him because he gets to go back to Philly where his wife and new baby are.


Look for Burke to make a BIG deal in the near future (maybe Ottawa?)

i will have to agree with every thing you said about the trades
