If our GM were smart enough to combine a good aging vet like Stajan with an anchor contract like Brouwer and come out of it with a Byron caliber 22 year old I certainly would not call that a "horrible" return. In fact I would consider it a pipe dream.
Paul Byron for Regehr + Kotalik (who's cap-hit went away when he left the NHL) + Jake McCabe (we tossed in a 2nd round pick in that deal, if you don't remember).
