Friedman made it seem like if this deal got done, it would push our retool forward quickly in his mind.
It had to be 1st and Holtz at the very least. I do wonder if either Holtz or the 1st was the piece for retention, and that's what broke the deal down as we wanted more.
If it was a 1st and Holtz and no retention that is is a overpayment for a goalie and we should have taken it. Mike Smith netted a C prospect and 3rd rounder.
