The return on one of the most valuable trade chips a team can have, while also giving away a great prospect, are why people are pissed. And rightfully so. Why is this so hard to understand?
Should we have just blindly accepted whatever return was offered and been happy about it?

Because we didn’t get back Lucic, or Clarkson, we got back a 23 year old guy who is already a consistent 40 point threat and a 21 year old defence man who is developing on the same trajectory as the guy we just traded away.
It’s odd that people have some set value in their mind, that may or may not be remotely realistic, and then when it isn’t met they start comparing two young core pieces (who they’d love to have on their team, under nearly any other circumstance) to Lucic and Clarkson, which nobody wants.
So yeah, it really is hard to understand. Excuse the rest of us for not “getting it.”
