Holy Katz.

Oil need another centre, so they get one via trade.

Except they trade a centre to get him.

Who’s running that team, anyway? It’s the mentality of a four-year-old who changes a dime for two nickels, and thinks he’s gained 10 cents.

(Only not even that good, because two nickels really are as good as a dime. Roy is older, more expensive, and has put up worse numbers this year than Arcobello. And since he’s UFA at the end of the year and Arcobello is RFA, they’re basically throwing away an asset at the end of the season. This is more like a four-year-old who changes a dime for one nickel, because nickels are bigger than dimes.)
