The Vegas part is what people hate most. We have to cheer against ourselves already holding the Vegas 2026 1st round pick with the hopes that we maybe get another 1st round pick. If Vegas comes up short then we still likely hurt our asset and have very little benefit.
After the last two trades with playoff conditions both failed (Vegas and Stars), Conroy should have demanded a better condition on this deal especially because we had extra skin in the game.
If we could have traded Andersson to the Bruins for a 1st with nothing else, it would have been disappointing but not as bad as this feeling of self-sabotage while also bending over backward to enable Vegas. It's a yucky deal.
