The point is that the scouts, and management always get overly excited, and they always claim to get their guy, and a couple of gems along the way. I mean when was the last time we heard something along the lines of: "we really missed out on *insert name*"? We hear those stories 5-10 years after the draft, but never on draft day.
I don't think it makes a guy miserable to not buy into the mental gymnastics of we actually traded Toffoli for a 2nd instead of a 3rd. For me, the fact that fans need to try and spin the trade in a favorable manner shows it wasn't a very good trade for the organization. That said, I've moved on and hope both the players we got have success.

Yikes ...
Or he's a fan and sees a wrinkle that makes him feel better about the trade and posted it.
Why do people think we need to stamp out enthusiasm around here.
Its ok to like moves and have hope!
