Well, had they traded to another of these 27 teams for a lower return, I would have been much more disappointed in the light of Vancouver's very high offer. This was good asset management, plain and simple, your own personal feelings of slight notwithstanding.

As for your "far better chance of [Baertschi's] being an impact NHL'er," how do you figure? Without knowing who that pick will be, how can you draw such a certain conclusion? What are Baertschi's "chances" at this point, anyways?
