And the cards begin to fall: pending league approval, Florida defenseman Jordan Leopold has been dealt to Pittsburgh for a second-round pick in 2010, as reported by GR's Twitter page.
I'm calling this a steal for the Cats; another soon-to-be UFA has been converted into a decent spot at this year's draft. Solid.

Agreed
A fine move.
NY Jets = NFL's Chicago Cubs
There's a fine line between hopeful and desperate. Just look @ Jets fans.
Kind of disappointing...
…considering Sexton set the bar sooo high by wrangling a second-rounder out of MTL for Dom Moore.
I kid, I kid.
Good but...
I just can’t get it out of my mind that we ended up with a 2nd (Josh Birkholz) and a 3rd round draft pick for Jay Bouwmeester when there was rumored to be so much on the table at last year’s deadline. I know you can’t link the two situations and players, and we got a somewhat decent year out of Leopold, but still…. It’s going to take a few seasons for Martin’s stench finger prints to be fully removed.
Ahhh... so that's what he meant by no fire sale?
Hrmmm… Not that I think this is a bad move. Just wondering what Sexton’s thinking. We’re definitely stockpiling the draft picks. My assumption is that he’s getting them to sweeten whatever deals he wants to attempt in the summer. And if not, then we’ll get a bunch of prospects, which we need anyway.

Which invites another question: who plays second fiddle to Sexton? Birch? O’Flaherty? According to the club, there’s no official “Assistant General Manager”.

Everyone – on both sides – appear content with this deal. No controversy whatsoever.
