Or maybe it's Byron who takes the hit as some of the warm bodies come back(or Granlund considering he is up), either way the Heat aren't going to be in a worse position in my opinion. Even if you hate everything else about the trade and what it means I don't think you should be worried about the Heat suffering a hit.

The player who will obviously be going down is Granlund, who was with the Heat the last time they played. Abbotsford has to fill Nemisz's spot with someone from

Please tell me you don't actually think points are the be-all, end-all of a hockey player's contributions. Would removing Bouma from our line-up not hurt us at all?
That said, I never classified Nemisz' departure as a major loss - though the one person familiar with the team I've seen chime in thus far doesn't like it much. It is a small loss, but a loss none the less. Mostly that part of the deal isn't terribly concerning to me as the fact that we acquired a player with no actual value.
