As a few others have stated, the trade needs a few years to be rightly evaluated and I am cautiously optimistic about Sharangovich. But, I definitely do like what Conroy is trying to do. Move older players out before they are lost for nothing, take chances on young players with upside, sell high/buy low, get more picks, get cap, get faster . . . there is a lot to like about the move if you step back a little and don't focus only on last year's production from the two players. And, there is very little difference between a mid second and mid third pick in terms of pick outcome so that is not that much of an issue to me.
