Yeah, I remember that. I think Lydman was coming off a concussion and old school Darryl didn't have the patience required. The other thing is, he needed a spot for Phaneuf and it wasn't fair to Tony to be a 7th defenceman, so Darryl made a quick trade with his buddy. Another thing is although the trade looked unequal on it's own, we made a few deals with Buffalo so it probably evened out.
