I'm hopeful this all works out, would have pushed for more immediate certainty, mostly because I've become risk adverse over the years.

Fair. I think the beauty of this trade is that it let's you go either direction.
IMO the opportunity for a competitive 'get younger' re-tool has sailed. It's what I wanted before TDL 2020, but I don't really see a sustainable path anymore. Unless the blue chip is from the last draft or two, then they will probably end up out of sync with the next cycle.

You don't think this was a great trade? Ok I find that a little odd but you're no less a fan in my book and I'm not going to judge how happy you are either. But enough is enough, no need to repeat the argument endlessly. You're not going to convince anyone
You think Treliving is a great GM? If cheering for the guys in suits is your thing, all the more power to you. Do you have to respond to every comment that might be critical of the guy?
You think Treliving is awful? OK, but maybe expand your mind to accept that he is capable of doing good things. Like this steal of a trade.

Well that just about does it for pretty much any hockey discussion then, I guess.
So...you guys wanna talk about Israel or something?
