Honestly if that's true then Adams took a worse offer IMO.

Seriously I think a problem these GMs have in trades is that they fixate on one guy and will overlook better overall packages because they fall in love.

I think Ottawa did it with Brannstrom.

Vegas seems to have done that with Krebs here.

If it was:

Zary, Prospect, Prospect, Monahan, 1st

vs

Krebs, Tuch, 1st, 3rd

I'm not sure it really matters who those two prospects were, it might still be a better deal than what Vegas got. And if those two propsects were Pelletier and Valimaki as an example then it's a way better offer than Vegas offer.

There were rumors that Buffalo really wanted and coveted Krebs, and holy smokes if they overlooked other offers because of that then they really overrate that player.

The most mystifying thing about a fixation on Krebs if true is he looks terrible in the NHL right now... he is playing 15 minutes a night and he is a black hole production wise
