The later are concerned about the long-term, while the former don't really care and only care about the next five minutes of their existence. One group wants Eichel at any cost, regardless of possible outcomes, while the other would only make the deal if it did not have potential to cripple the organization for the next decade. Those are two sides of this particular debate. Give me immediate gratification, regardless of the cost versus make sure we have long-term gratification covered in the deal.
