It isn't the worst return. But it feels like an attempt to tread water rather then maximize value. It feels like a GM trying to check to many boxes (get younger, bigger, and replace Toffoli production). It also feels like a bit of Feaster era wishful thinking.

This kind of nails it for me. Like most of Feaster's trades, the value just doesn't add up to me. It will be interesting to see Conroy's next transaction to see if it's a pattern.
