Yeah it is hard to say.
4 years from now Poirier + Whoever we draft in the 2nd could be better hockey players than Nyquist & Tatar who would have been overkill as small LWs in our organization.
It hurts now but could look fine in 4 years.
I have a feeling if Feaster would have accepted this last year he would have got torn apart by some for building a team of "smurfs" and not being able to get a 1st rounder.
