My point is more that the initial reaction to most of Conroy’s trades are met with light disappointment. It does not take long to have a big chunk of the fanbase come around to the deal quickly and in the case of Toffoli be completely wrong about it. Just look at most of the trade threads in the last year. Usually it begins with comments like “that’s it”. I think many expected a 1st for Tanev, 2nd for Zadorov, the 10th pick for Markstrom. I feel like this trade and the Lindholm trade were met with immediate satisfaction from the fanbase and did not need to sober up or have hindsight help change their mind
