As I’ve said, this is an excellent win now move. If this is a team on the cusp this trade is legendary.
But I get why there’s negativity. Sure, if it falls apart you can spin Huberdeau at the deadline. Weegar too. Those become futures. But the futures of all futures are at the top end of the upcoming draft and that’s no longer an option. So why punt the window down another year when you have a generational draft upcoming?
So, some sourness that we are laying the tracks in front of a moving train isn’t unreasonable. Without another move this trade is…perplexing. The group as it stands isn’t good enough, we need to add more.
