Ugh...I don't like this trade at all. Just this past summer, we ranked him our #3 prospect (behind Gaudreau and Bennett). He definitely didn't help himself this year, and others did perform much better than expected, but to lose him for just a 2nd rounder seems bad. I would have laughed this morning if you would have offered us Petry for him straight up...and yet, Petry received more in return! Not a fan at all.
If this was the best that was available, I would have preferred waiting until the off-season to test the waters on a trade market.
