Then we thought Toffoli should get a late first round pick or an 2nd round pick and that never happened. Then we thought Zadorov would get a 2nd round pick and it didn’t happen. Then we thought Tanev would get a first round pick at the trade deadline but that never happened.

I’m not complaining about the returns. I think Conroy has done well in his trades… I’m just saying the market for players in trades always seems to be lower than most of us think. So we end up underwhelmed with the return - at least at first.
Yep, that's CP to a tee, it's been fun to watch because we always get less than the majority here seem to think is coming, but we still get great value.

We're again working ourselves up to receive 7th OA/10th OA and will likely get New Jerseys 2025 1st + roster player and I'll be really happy with that, while the site melts down in disappointment.
