Rangers Trade Hossa and Montoya to Phoenix

Sam Weiman at The Rangers Report states...

"Rangers trade Marcel Hossa and Al Montoya to Phoenix and get forwards Fredrick Sjostrom and Josh Gratton, and goaltender David Leneveu in return."

...I'll have more on this in a little bit.

I hope this doesn't mean Hollweg gets to still play. Hossa on the fourth line made sense, but I know nothing about what we got in return so I can't be mad about Hossa being traded, just about Hollweg not seeing the bench.

It doesn't sound like we got much for Montoya. It seems like Sjostrom might play on our 4th line and could bump Hollweg (wishful thinking!)though. I read Gratton is a goon with no skills, and the other guy is a goalie prospect.

I didn't realize that Backman was making 3 Million and is under contract for next year also. I was reading comments made by Blues fans and it sounds like Backman was their version of Malik. Big and soft. We'll have to see how he plays here.
