I assumed, based on the Nelson trade last year, or the proposed Pareyko trade, that we should have been able to pry a blue chipper loose somewhere!

Quantity will lead to a team of 3rd liners…I want first liners.

Any word on what the Habs package was?
I voted 9 nine on this trade, but I'm definitely feeling this too.

I get that it's hard to find a trade for higher 1st rounders, even a mid-rounder, as well as blue-chip prospects so I'm not exactly disappointed either, but.
