I woke up this morning feeling a lot better about the trade.
I'd been preaching that getting unprotected further out picks from good teams is better, especially when you are already loaded up for this draft. That's exactly what they did.
I expected a 1st a 3rd and a prospect was the correct return, It's what we got, with maybe a roster player if it was needed to make contracts work. I want to be underwhelmed by the prospect, but truthfully I have seen exactly two multi-second clips of him playing hockey ever, and both were last night, so I will do what I can to not judge him by a stats card, or reaching the NHL a little later than average.
