For me, this is another one of those deals that feels like it was a homerun because of the number of assets involved, but when you work thru each one you realize that much of the haul has little value.

As a Canuck fan, the player I was disappointed to see go is Brzustewicz but the risk with him is that he turns out to be another Jack Rathbone who the Canucks were high on at one point but who didn't turn out.

Not to mention that with Willander and Quinn Hughes, the Canucks could afford to move Brzustewicz.

Knowing that he had one of the most coveted players in this years trade deadline, should Conroy have held out for a return with fewer pieces, but of higher value?
