What's the verdict on trade?

Hey, everyone. This is Eduardo Encina, the Times' backup Lightning writer. After writing the story in today's Times about the Lightning's trade to acquire defenseman Shane O'Brien, I've received some mixed reaction about the trade.

A little background: General manager Jay Feaster said the team had been interested in O'Brien since last season, when team scouts were impressed with his play in Portland of the AHL. The Lightning and Ducks had been in talks for weeks and a team source said that Feaster and Ducks GM Brian Burke revisited the subject this past week during the GM meetings in Naples. Apparently, Feaster adding the first-round draft pick sealed the deal, because if the Tampa Bay had offered a lesser pick, Burke made it clear he was ready to ship O'Brien elsewhere before Tuesday's trade deadline.

So what does everyone think of the trade? Did the Lightning give away too much of its future to make a run this season. Will O'Brien add the toughness Torts believes the team lacks?
