This one looks like a huge steal. Kindl still has another year, and Detroit retained 15%.. for only a 7th. Anyone know why Detroit did this?

All of these Panthers trades.. they were good value, but I still don't see them going very far. In fact, I would bet on a first round exit, depending on their opponent obviously.
