Exactly why I think a huge return is not really possible. Now if you want to place some blame on being in that situation that I get but the Seattle thing threw a monkey wrench in the works I think.
The longer I watch the NHL the more it seems the trades you don’t make are more impactful. Like I said what if we had had the assets the isles scooped from us in the Hamonic deal? I think Eichel would be a flame today.
