(Manchester, NH - 07/07/2008)

There were numerous trade offers for the Manchester Red Devils picks, they decided to keep their 1st pick overall and select Goaltender Niklas Backstrom with the 20th pick.  They did however deal All star centre Joe Thornton that they picked at 21 as well as our 100th pick overall in exchange for the 33rd pick which we are happy to select All Star Center Eric Staal, in addition we also get the 73rd pick which was used to select solid D man Brian Rafalski and also 128th pick which they used to select veteran Swede Markus Naslund.  Overall both G.M's of the Red Devils could not be more happy with the results of the trade that resulted in getting Eric Staal, Brian Rafalski, and Markus Naslund for Joe Thornton and Thomas Kaberle.
