OTT didn't think they'd fall off. Neither did SJ. Trading for an injured player without protection is lunacy.

(And I don't think the current circumstances will even allow Adams to be that patient.)

Jones for Johansen made sense. Hall for Larsson less so.
Who would be a sensible single main piece? Pettersson? Fox?
The only 1 for 1ish I'd consider if I'm BUF is Byfield.
