You had this exact trade before, everyone, and I do mean everyone said it was insanely horrible, so you come back and add a second, two years away. Let’s call these pieces what they are: Smith (dump, neg value) Lias (bust) Strome (first good year with bread man, about to be overpaid for it) and Buch (good middle six winger, can fill in the top line in a pinch but not ideal) 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for a for sure top 10 C in the NHL. It’s still bad, adding the 2nd doesn’t change that.
