(C) If things go really ill, Treliving will forever be known as the idiot that traded Niedermayer for Kurvers and added 2 2nd round picks for good measure.

This is the trade I thought about when the trade was made. at least with Hamilton, you knew what pick you were giving up. Sweet Lou really fleeced the Leafs on that one. Terrible trade, depending on what the pick is, this trade might define BT, much like Risebrough trading Gilmour.
