There goes one of our plan B/Cs. That being said, Armstrong had a desperate counterpart and took advantage of that. Montreal has also stockpiled picks over the past few years so can take a swing like this. We cannot.
Agree on the big game hunting analogy. Come up empty a lot of times. Can still improve the team with smaller deals. No one wants mony? Ok, who wants backs? What about Florida’s second rounder from the Bennett deal? The Eichel deal seems so unlikely, can’t put all your eggs in that basket. Has to be a deadline to move on and that should be fast approaching.
