I'm a bit confused here Lanny. You give a 5 but then go on to tout all the reasons to like the deal.
I agree, Kadri was checked out. He is older and had term/money to deal.
Weegar was surprising, I agree, but Flames did well - I agree good return on diminishing asset.
Mixed feelings on Othmann, fair, I defer in that I don't know enough honestly about either player. I like who we gave up, but that's hard to know why - is it just the shiny new-ish toy that I know?
I agree, would have been nice to deal Coleman, but got Kadri out (who I think was checked out more/more temperamental staying here than Coleman), Weegar out, and...well can't do them all. Coleman I feel is a true professional and will continue to work hard and lead the team, although in fairness I truly can't say for sure. He'll get dealt regardless this summer or next year.
I don't know, not perfect, but given your comments, not higher than a 5?
