Garrett Billings for Kevin Crowley.
So this was a just a one for one swap. Crowley should flourish in Toronto. With the talent around him and an offensive game plan. As for Billings, coming off an injury, Going to an organization. That is struggling in all aspects of the game. Is not an ideal situation to be placed into. Got to wonder if or when Billings asks out.

The Buffalo Bandits and New England Black Wolves have announced a trade with New England acquiring Drew Petkoff and a fourth-round pick in the 2015 NLL Draft from Buffalo in exchange for New England’s lowest second-round pick in the 2016 NLL Draft, pending league approval.
The second-round pick will be the lower choice between New England’s own selection and the one originally belonging to the Toronto Rock.
“We are looking forward to Drew joining our team,” said Black Wolves head coach Blane Harrison. “He gives us some grit, toughness and sandpaper as we begin the second half of our season.”
Petkoff saw action in three games for Buffalo in 2013, picking up two assists and nine loose balls. Prior to joining the Bandits as a free agent, the defenseman spent three seasons in Toronto. As a rookie in 2010, he dished out five assists and picked up 74 loose balls in 12 games.
Not sure what the Black wolves are thinking here. Giving up assets for a warm body. Just like in Philly, team makes head scratching moves. Which will not help the team in the near term. As for the long term. Well it should be an interesting off season.
