Honestly, if we don't sign our top prospects we are doomed. We need to trade all our lower picks (ie. 2nd-7th rounders) and package them with our first to move up in all drafts. Now if our team could actually draft semi-decently this probably wouldn't make a lot of sense. But let's call a spade a spade. We have lost a 1st rounder for 2 2nds. I am not happy at all. If he wanted to play here or not is not the issue. The issue is that they had 2 YEARS to sign the kid or make a deal. Having a gun pointed to your head is not the right way to handle a situation like this. For all of you "blaming Sutter", your insane. He hasn't been the GM for months...give me a break.
So angered by this deal.....perhaps more by the circumstance more than anything.
