This is a lesson to anyone.
If Detroit offers you European players, especially those that are "discovered" by their uber scout like it was in each case with Nyquist and Tatar, you take them even if the other offer seems slightly better at the time.
Nyquist has been my favourite prospect for the last 4 years+ and I would've jumped at the opportunity to get him, especially if the trade was similar to the return that they got for the Blues, which it appears it was actually better.
I like Poirier a lot, and think that pick will turn into a home run, but give me a break.
Ugh.
