The deal is Hossa for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christenson, Angelo Esposito, and a first rounder. ESPN - Thrashers send Hossa to Penguins in five-player deal - NHL
I think it's a steal for the Penguins. Esposito isn't a good prospect, not a great one. Armstrong is a 3rd liner at best and Christenson has a sick wrist shot but can't do anything else. Hossa is a rental, but they really didn't give up THAT much. Especially considering what Nashville paid for Forsberg or even what San Jose gave up for Campbell.
