Seattle also added a ton to the value of their draft, have some young players playing very well that are new to the team. Didn't really give up any core players and aren't that much worse than we are but are way more likely to add stars to the core this draft
Montreal - ranks well ahead of us, also has a high-end rookie and didn't lose anyone that matters but has a way better draft than us.
1 trade today could have made a difference for the future and still allowed this team to make the playoffs. But that wasn't the goal to start the year, I get rewarding players but why not reward the Wranglers too, they are very good. Need to move bodies out to do that.

When the GM says the prices are high it sounds like he was looking to add. That should have been a good indicator to look at moving or seeing what we could get for some of these guys. Carlo getting that return we could have probably got something good for Andersson but it seems like he was not looking to move any bodies out.
Who cares about playoffs or not this year. It’s about icing a team that is consistently in the playoffs and a threat.
