Are the usual suspects who said a month ago the return does not matter just trade the players so the team can get worse and get a higher pick now complaining about the return on a trade that allows the team to get worse and get a higher pick? Suspect the answer to my rhetorical question is yes.
As for the trade, it is a decent return imo opinion by Conroy. Gets another 1st, if Vegas wins the Cup this year they get the 2028 1st instead of a 2nd and they get a prospect and a dman that they may be able to trade for a 2nd or a 3rd round pick. More of the same by Conroy, focusing on accumulating picks and prospects.
