1. Armia is more valuable than Glendening, imagine for a second that you had a player like Armia already on your team... you'd be asking for a 2nd.
2. Players getting flipped after being traded is nothing new bozo. See:
- Hoffman OTT to SJ to FLA
- Galchenyuk OTT to CAR to TOR
- Scandella BUF to MTL to STL
Thats just 3 examples off the top of my head in 10 seconds.
And what are you talking about just to break even? Since when does a 2nd and a 4th = a 3rd?
3. I would not trade Armia for a 2nd unless we were sellers at the deadline, which is not likely. MTL has no interest in trading Armia at this time which is why he hasn't been traded.
DET fans blow my mind on this site. (Not all, but seriously what's going on here, a proposal of Armia and a 4th for Glendening and wings fans are arguing no we want a 3rd.... LOL.)
In case you haven’t realized this was posted by a Montreal fan so no one is trying to force LGD down your throat like you are currently trying to do with Armia. I wouldn’t expect a 2nd for Armia because he isn’t worth it at all. Is Gagner worth a 2nd? No he isn’t but he is better than Armia just like Armia is better than LGD.
I have a couple problems with your 2nd point.
1. You should probably reread my post because I never said that flipping players didn’t happen. I just said it wasn’t smart and people do dumb stuff all the time.
2. If you want to argue that point and include examples. You should list all of the details of both trades in each example because I said just to break even Detroit would have to make another trade and the first trade in each of your examples could have been even trades and trading one of the players was just a bonus.
You should really reread my post because my breaking even comment was in response to yanleg96’s reasoning behind the Detroit trade (which I’ve included below. If you want to how he came to that conclusion you will have to ask Yanleg96. My comment was just a response to it.

they flip armia for a 2nd with half salary retained. So they get a 2nd and 4th for glendenning
I said Armia has little to no value from Detroit’s point of view because
HE IS A UFA AT THE END OF THE SEASON AND MOST LIKELY WON’T SIGN IN DETROIT. What you would or wouldn’t trade him for really has no bearing here I just pointed out why he doesn’t have much value from Detroit’s pov.
Now the 3rd for Glendening is very likely because there are several teams that want him.
I could resort to name calling or make an ignorant bigoted generalization about Montreal fans like you did but the truth is there are quite a few Montreal fans that I like and even when I don’t agree with them I still respect opinion.
