1) Getting a 2nd for Stepan, without retaining, is a solid return in my opinion. The pick is much needed after having your picks taken away.
2) Losing Hall in the end sucks, but honestly, Arizona gave up quantity over quality, so it was a good trade for a rental I think.
3) I have liked POJ on the Pens so far. With that being said, I think Kessel is a solid top 6 player for Arizona and their top 6 would be incomplete without him. Sure, they could have went after a FA, but no guarantees of anyone signing.
4) Weal is overpaid and the Habs dont even use him anymore.
5) At first, I thought adding Perlini would give the W to Chicago. He really didnt turn out to be the player we expected. I still think Schmaltz>Strome, so Arizona W again.
