That's an awful trade for the 'Canes. I was under the impression that Johnson would eventually sign with Carolina, but wanted to finish College first. Gleason is a fairly good player, but hasn't lived up to expectations yet. Belanger is a throw in and Tverdosky was expendable. Great trade for LA. They're going to be incredibly scary in a few years.
Johnson, O'Sullivan, Frolov, Brown.

In the future this trade is great for LA. Tverdovsky is a bit of a flake & did not fit in with Carolina or the Hurricane cap @ 2.5 MIL/year. Jack Johnson looks like he's going to be a beauty. I wonder why Carolina gave up on him so quick?
I also like this trade for the Hurricanes. I liked what I saw from Gleason 6' 215 lb 23 years old D-man. Decent size & some offense. Belanger will cover for Stillman while he recovers. Good skater & got 33-37 points on a bad LA team the last couple of years. Carolina sticking with its "SPEED KILLS" philosophy.

It has been said that a top-tier defenceman like Jack Johnson comes along once every 5 years or more. How much is a future franchise defenceman worth? A helluva lot more than a Tim Gleason and Eric Belanger. I think once Johnson comes to the NHL and people see what he can do, this trade will be looked upon as worse than the Thornton trade.
