That still doesn't explain why they didn't get even a single prospect in the deal. Even a b prospect+1st+2nd would have looked better.
Maybe Sweeney thought he would get praised like Chiarelli was after the Kessel trade.

Lol. Chiarelli got once in a lifetime lucky to get a second and a ninth overall pick for the same player.
How many current players would fetch that kind of return, if the picks were known? Crosby? Stamkos?

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
