We all want to paint this trade as either Terrible or excellent and really its somewhere in between.
At this point no one knows whether its good or bad or who won the trade. FAct is Tre moved three assets, one who was very unhappy (seemingly), one who was likely never going to sign here, and one who was probably going to leave after next season as a ufa.
GEtting back two RFA and young assets seems like a smart decision when looking at just that side of it, will Dougie maybe go on to become a Norris winner? maybe but hand-wringing over it isn't gonna do anything.
If a trade doesn't make you uncomfortable then it is either because you are trading with Chiarelli or else you are playing NHL98 and while I fall on the side of liking this trade, it has potential to blow up in Trelivings face, but I think its riskier to hold onto those assets and likely lose both fox and ferkland and who knows what you have to do with dougie.
