If you're in the former camp: bad trade. If you're in the latter: good trade.

i think saturday was a lousy day to be a flames fan.
we wake up in the morning and the hamilton personal issues are all BS, and we have a better than not chance of signing fox.
the trade happens, the return is modest based on our valuation of the assets we gave up. then we learned that the chips we had were only worth 60 cents on the dollar. so the trade is not so bad with that considered.
but finding out you got less back because your goods were damaged still sucks.
without knowing what i know now about hamilton and fox, i would never do the trade. knowing what we know now, i would do the trade. but it's still a kick in the nuts to find out we never had what we thought had in those two players.
