Both my teams are here!
I actually like the Islanders trade. Wilde won’t be fun to give up, but our prospect pool is very good and I think we can afford it long term in order to help out now. Baertschi could play in our top-9 for a season, maybe even play well. He’s an offensive minded player and we need as many of those as we can get to balance out the defense lol.
I like the Hawks trade as a Hawks fan, but no doubt the Canucks are getting ripped off. I don’t believe in “negative value” but Seabrook comes as close to that as you can get, due to both his play and his contract. Eriksson is a better player on a more favorable deal, I think Vancouver could find a better deal for ridding themselves of him.
