The trade sucks. It has always sucked and everyone in the world outside of Cagarypuck recognized it immediately. And yet anyone calling it that way got taken to task.
It isn’t so much “I hope he keeps it up so Edmonton does well and then I can be right” as much as it is “I hope he keeps it up so maybe we can all learn a lesson from this.”
It’s ok to admit that this situation was not managed well, from beginning to end. Treliving got burned. Maybe there were other ways of handling it that didn’t involve trading for a useless player on a horrific contract and helping out your biggest rival at the same time.
Maybe people pointing that out just wanted to be heard instead of shouted down, as a vocal few here tend to do with anything they don’t agree with.

How is anyone being "shouted down"? People are responding. Disagreement =/= not allowing the opinion. I will say it's darned silly to evaluate a trade two weeks into a season.
