It's a pretty good trade for both teams but I think Florida is getting a better deal. They're getting one of the most dominant players in the league, a great young goaltender and a needed tough defenceman.

The Panthers also acquired defenceman Bryan Allen and goaltender Alex Auld, while defenceman Lukas Krajicek heads to the Canucks along with a sixth-round pick.

Florida definately got the better deal talent-wise, but Vancouver gains a lot by sending Bertuzzi away.
