Yeah I look at it as a range of "fair" value for each player with a high end (fair but good value) and a low end (still fair but not as strong).
I feel like we've gotten in that fair value range on everyone but closer to the low end.
Lots of people thought Tanev retained could get a 1st. I think the final deal was on the lower end of fair for us.
I thought toffoli could fetch a 1st since he was good value, coming off a career year and Bertuzzi did.
Sharangovich has worked out but to what end? If we trade him for a 1st that will change my tune but other then that he's just a stopgap on a re-whatevering team.
I think the lindholm deal was the best. Fair again but not a homerun as some are saying.
Hopefully Serevalli is wrong on the Hanifin return being underwhelming.
