I was on CP frequently as usually when the trade went down. I wasn't AFK for too long, but then I refreshed and saw the trade thread and it was already at 3 pages.
I was pretty happy with the return, but that turned to apprehension once I saw that both players were pending UFAs and Huberdeau is 29 (I thought he was younger for some reason).
I still have some qualms about the trade, but overall, I like it and think we did better than expected considering our hand was forced. I still think it's a good trade for both teams on paper. A rare win-win where both teams can be happy.
