I don't actually hate all those trades.. I think it's banking a little too heavily in players that were grown in other organizations considering that their drafting is already not great. Still, a 2nd for Perron and a 3rd for Scrivens still seem like pretty good value to me.

We did a similar thing with Wideman when we traded a 5th for his rights, so I think it's unfair to judge too much. Nikitin can potentially play up to his contract given that it's an inflated UFA signing.
