This.
Would we have like to have gotten more? Yes.
Do we know what other GMs were offering? No. Obviously less than what we got.
Did Big Z Fata us over by spontaneously demanding a trade? Absolutely.
Can we judge Conroy by not knowing what other GMs had on the table? No. Totally unfair.
Did you read this post in a Peter Loubardias classic self-question and answer interview style? Well, one word = do it.
Big Z put him in a tough situation, he had to deal him, had to take the best of what was out there this far out from trade deadline (and looks he probably wanted to leave the 3 slots for retaining salary open).
2 picks. Let our amateur scouts do their thing (just don't pull a Jake Boltmann please, lads).
Sit back and watch Big Z both excite and infurate Nucks brass and fanbase. Move on.
