Who won the deal..the Rockets or Regina?

It was December of 2007 when the Kelowna Rockets and Regina Pats pulled off a six player deal. The Rockets sent Troy Ofukany, Kirt Hill and Kaspars Saulietis to the Pats for Jason McDonald, Justin Bernhardt and a prospect by the name of Kyle St. Denis. So who won the trade?
Let me break it down statistically and then you decide.

To Kelowna:
Kyle St. Denis - GP:116 G: 38 A: 48
Jason McDonald - GP: 40 G: 2 A: 4
Justin Bernhardt - GP: 53 G: 12 A: 16
Totals: GP 209 G: 52 A: 68 Pts 120

To Regina:
Troy Ofukany - GP: 67 G:19 A: 27
Kirt Hill - GP: 111 G: 16 A: 23
Kaspars Saulietis -GP: 36 G: 10 A: 7
Totals: GP: 214 G:45 A: 57 Pts: 102

St Denis was the jewel in the six player deal. The stats point out that he indeed was the key in the deal. He not only played the most games (he was also the youngest player in the trade), but he scored the most goals, recorded the most assists with his new team and registered the most points.
