I have no problems with this deal.
I don't love it either, but I have no problems with it.
I like the attributes Sharangovich will bring. He's younger, more versatile, kills penalties, is faster, is bigger, is cost controlled, and put up similar 5v5 points to the guy we shipped out.
My brain: "That's good!"
He also will probably not score as many goals or points this year since Toffoli will be playing on an offensively talented team.
"That's bad!"
He also comes with a 3rd round pick.
"That's good!"
The trade has been evaluated by many media members to be a major win for New Jersey and not us.
"That's bad!"
The 3rd round pick was originally the Flames' pick and was traded away with two other picks (2nd and 7th) to acquire UFA rental Calle Jarnkrok, then went through several organizations before coming back in this trade for what is essentially a UFA rental.
"....?..."
That's bad.
