Voracek, Couturier, Simmonds and Schenn plus a 2 nd rd pick for Richards and Carter turned out to be highway robbery for Phil .
LA was in the win now stage and Phil was rebuilding.
Pretty straight forward.

Yes I know what happened, thanks.
It's a simple set of posts. Philly thought they couldn't win with Carter and Richards. But those two won. So saying they couldn't win with them was wrong.
Jiri used that as a justification for trading Gaudreau. But the premise was wrong.
I never once said they were bad trades.
Some people clearly just like to argue. I would prefer actually reading some good ideas. Especially from you. I see you criticize other posts a lot. I would like to know what you think the team should do.
