I did!
We still think Stewart is a top line player and one off year doesn't make him crap. We'll take him while his value is low which should translate into an excellent RFA deal. We understand the value of 1st round picks and the value of those will only increase. The bottom line is that we already have better players than Eriksson and he really isnt a guy we wanted to give top RFA dollars towards.
Goffie gets the best player and Eriksson will probably play very well there but he didn't do anything for me, a waste of roster space and really didn't add anything to my lineup. We'll take two assets we like and move on.
We like what we got back in this deal a lot more than what we gave up to acquire Eriksson in the first place.
