I get the best player in the deal and the type of player that looks like you can either get a King's ransom for at some point to recoup what you lost or just give a max contact too every time and be happy with.
I actually don't rate Geekie. I could be wrong, but I just don't see him being more than a middle six guy. Eiserman was hard to lose. I absolutely love him and I think he is going to be a player... But I had to pick him or Lekkerimaki and I think Lekkerimaki will also be a player. They do the same thing from the same position in the same spot.
Byram... May not be the player I thought Byram was, but I still adore him. I definitely see me going back for him at some point.
With Harley I also get Lombos who is probably not going to be a top pairing guy ever but he has second pair potential still. Anthony Romani is a pretty good lottery ticket. Only three other players have had u19 seasons as good as him in the OHL: McDavid, Stamkos and Patrick Kane. If he can develop in the AHL this year I'll feel very good about this.
