Hartford
Arnason I believe will play in Harftford, provided our team is set up as we all think it will be. Good signing on Parenteau.

Package
I find this peculiar. Why would Arnason hold any value as part of a package if any of the other clubs could have signed him without sacrificing anything? I’m not questioning the Arnason signing – nor the other two – but I have my doubts about this possible explanation.

only explanation
would be if a team wanted to sign him but wanted to dump salary in doing so but even then they could have made the same trade with the rangers without him and then signed him themselves.

There's no way...
With the numbers Arnason put up last year no NHL team would be interested, he’s going to Hartford. The only package are his sticks being ups’d to hartford.
