The discussions around Wolf were like the discussions around Coronato last year -- basically throw him in for a moderate improvement or to get a deal done. I wouldn't have even considered that and argued that. But trading a stud prospect who has considerable development risk for an established top three young player at the same position with long term contract security? I'd absolutely consider it.
