Still pissed that it is Vancouver. If he busts out, we get to laugh. If he turns into Neiderreiter, I would rather he did it somewhere else.

Maybe, but Sven has to clear waivers with Vancouver. Vancouver could lose him on waivers, or they might have to keep him and bury a another prospect too. He was a pretty good prospect, but we're trying to reach back to what a prospect did when he was 19 from a 22 year old.... hoping he can go back to the quality of prospect as a 19 year old.
Also...
- the deal was done at the dying minutes of UFA, Sven has to clear waivers next year. This is just my interpretation, but a 2nd round pick was the most they felt they could get for him and Vancouver could have been the only one offering.
- Why Vancouver, the only team in the division? Vancouver might be the only team offering (or offered the most) because of the connection to Green (his former coach? or at least getting this from SN)
