I'm happy with the deals. Definitely wouldn't say the Isles fleeced us. Wouldn't say I fleeced either though.
Lehner and McGinn for Hellebuyck seems good to me, Hellebuyck played 20 more games and they had similar stats. Hellebuyck is also younger so adding a 4th liner like McGinn doesn't upset me. Lehner has been great for me all these years but the Jets are my 2nd team and I'm ecstatic to acquire Hellebuyck.
Schmidt for a 1st and a 3rd seems fair, maybe he's worth a bit more but with a lot of teams selling, I don't think I could've got much more (some teams weren't willing to pay more than a 2nd). Needed to get rid of someone for cap purposes and we determined Schmidt was the guy. We will miss him.
Thanks to Scorp for the deals
