Then I'm glad you aren't our GM because that's nonsense. Reinhart cost the oilers the same but they'd probably bite your hand off if you offer them a second rounder. Value changes. Christ, Kris Russell almost got us a first round pick.
The hall trade in isolation is a bad comparable but Dougie's value has gone up significantly since the trade because Cassidy's hands were tied by the threat of an offer sheet, so we got him relatively cheap. If you put it out there that all you wanted was a mid first and two seconds, 30 GMs would be reaching for the phones to call.
