The similaries between these guys is actually uncanny. Sjostrom was chosen 11th overall by the Coyotes. Flames guy was 10th overall. Both were born in 1983. Both are penalty killers and both are probably right around replacement level for NHL forwards. In the end, this is a pure depth move that probably won't hurt or help the team much either way.
UPDATE - despite his yawn-worthy production, Sjostrom was apparently well liked over at Blueshirt Banter.
