If he does that then it was a good move, if he doesn't then it wasn't.

I'm just not going to call it a good move until we see what he does with that space. If he get's Jason Zucker (at a reasonable price) then I'll say "#### YA! it was a good move!", if he sits on his hands I'll say it was a poor move, and if he uses the space to get us a Troy Brouwer redux then I'll say it was a ####ty move.



Then I guess it's a good thing that I don't care whether I have the minority opinion or not.
My trading brain again.

But when I buy an option with a small cost and a huge win payoff with a decent probability I call it a win without even cashing in the option.

The setup of the opportunity is already a win.

Without the move you have depth you don't need and almost zero chance of acquiring an impact player this season.
