Silvio Acquires Gostisbehere in Pre-Draft Trade

Ghost was 4th among defensemen in points last year with 65.

Silvio dealt the 96th pick in the draft to Corso for the rights to Shayne Gostisbehere (a 7th round keeper) and the 159th pick in the draft. Gostisbehere is an elite offensive defenseman coming off a season where he scored 13 goals but ranked 5th among defenseman in assists with 52 and 4th in points with 65.

Lupo acquires Bobrovsky for 3rd Round Pick

Bobrovsky, a 2-time Vezina trophy winner, had 37 wins last season.

Less than a week from the draft, Joe Lupo made a bold move by acquiring the keeper rights of Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, arguably the best goalie in the league, by moving one of his three third round picks in exchange for the netminder and his own 14th round pick, which he moved last year in a separate deal. The 26th overall pick will go to Ed and Lupo will receive the 164th overall pick along with Bobrovsky.
