I understand the slight rush as we need to stagger the dmen trading a bit so we're not lowering the bids when the big dawgs are ready to be auctioned off.
However, when the whole league's reaction is that the return is very underwhelming (and surprisingly low), then I can't help to feel the very same. I have no doubt that Conroy took the best deal on the table. It's disappointing that the best deal was not a good one. This would've felt a lot better if it was TWO 3rd round picks - but it wasn't on the table without retention.
I understand. I was surprised at the return. I am still disappointed. I will reserve being pissed off until I see the return for Tanev, Hanifin, Lindholm after full retention.

to add, I also understand the how critical getting out of LTIR and having the cap room accumulate + being able to call up kids. Does not change my disappointment with this trade and the Toffoli trade.
My fingers are crossed that there will be no more excuses for sub par returns when Tanev, Hanifin, and Lindholm are dealt.
