Yeah, it's a stinger.
Probably wouldn't have lost our American players and no Huberdeau and no Kadri.

Nah, at the time Valimaki was not so hot... Think you're thinking about the Stone deal.
He may have been a part of a potential deal, but I think the chatter was around the F prospects and then Tkachuk got name dropped leading up to the actual trade. As I remember, people were game to send Tkachuk, prospect and a first leading into Chucky's breakout year.
In hindsight, still would have been much better for us than what actually happened.
