For us it would be a disaster, because the last thing this franchise needs is to build around a "star winger" again. Now obviously the same trade wouldn't happen, but there's no reason to rush this. I would like to think that the management group is more pragmatic than the fanbase when it came to a young team punching above it's weight class about to lose their leading scorer.
