Totally different situation though - with a team going for it at the deadline and overpaying to do so. Though now basically we see that they gave up a marginal dman (Kevin), marginal prospect (Pollock) and a 2nd.
But if the Avs are deducting a core long-term piece, I think they are going to want a core long-term piece added.
Plus Boston was drunk when they traded Hamilton.
