Again, you put too much weight on a first round pick. I think the guy we traded for is not 30, I know you gonna say he's going to be 30. But, he isn't 30 now so that make your statement incorrect. We gave up Pitlick who has 0 goal, we gave up Henieman who has 0 goal we gave up a first and a fifth, I believe this year draft isn't that strong, so even if the team doesn't make it to the final, the draft position is in the twenties.
I'd like to return the favor and say the same thing to you too, but I can't cos, you are not.

I'll summarize, because I've been through all of this before and don't want any of us to have to invest unnecessary gobs of time on it:
If you think that Toffoli is the difference between a Stanley Cup this year and no Stanley Cup, then this is a good trade (or for that matter the next 3 years).
If you don't think that, then, imho, this should be a bad trade to you.
Most here are excited, and "hope" he is the difference. I don't see this as true opinion, I see it as hope, and subject to change.
There are two kinds of trades:
1. Sacrificing the future for now
2. Investing in the future for future
Guess which one of those trades tends to look better in hindsight.
