We traded out an improving sand paper 2/3 line winger and an exceptional defensive prospect that wasn’t going to sign here, and very well may become a UFA instead of signing there. In return we got a 1/2 center or winger.
No losers in this deal even on face value. If Fox signs there, that could be a big win for them, but that doesn’t mean it was a loss for us.

Please explain this for me. At least to make me feel better about this trade.
