well, this thread kinda went off the rails...

the fact is that the majority of pundits actually think this was a pretty good deal for the flames... and even if we did pay a bit of a premium, it was a premium of maybe 500K/year... so people are arguing over a pretty paltry sum as far as contracts go...

simply put, we had a hole to fill on RW, gave up zero assets to get one...

And i have yet to hear a single legitimate option that we could have had going forward. One can suggest getting a top 6 RW for a bag of pucks, however, real GMs don't make those deals unfortunately.
