Because we have a few brand new GMs to the league, I think someone needs to stress that this trade needs a few asterisks
***This is not a typical trade.***
I know this particular off season has proven a very broad range of trade values with some very unique trades, but this one is a great example of the variety we've seen.
If any new GM was going to give this much up for Provrov, and it went to a vote, I think the "no"s would win by unanimous vote. (or am I totally alone in that thinking?)
And I'm not trashing Curtis either. He's a super smart GM that clearly loves Provorov and had the spare assets to make the trade. I heavily overpaid for Duchene when I first joined too. Kucherov and 2 x 1sts I believe. And my own personal trade history is proof I cannot pass judgement to anyone here.
I know the market has shown us that values are scattered all over the place but just want to stress to new GMs that this is a very atypical trade and to not get your hopes up if you have a Provorov as well and think you will get a similar return.
(unless you trade them to Anaheim
)
