Par for the course for Valji…who speaks first and thinks later at the best of times these past couple years.
Maybe he’s bitter because all those fluff peices he’s done on Conroy since getting the job didn’t translate into a scoop on this trade?
Toffoli had to go at some point, unless he was going to sign a very cheap contract. And he had to go soon since his request was allows to go public. The return is what it is, but his logic of cutting down the deal makes no sense.
My debate is whether Conroy handling all of this exodus publicly meant he got less by dealing, today or next week or next month.
