Does anybody think Stan is dumb enough to move dach for Jones. Like he’s made bad trades but at least they could be defended before. Heck even the panarin trade had a strand of thought. Bring back saad and try to recreate magic while having cost certainty. Would I do it as him heck no but why would be intentionally retool those years and now decide to throw those rough years of high picks out for Seth Jones. If you make that decision to retool you stay with it. He has to be at least that competent right? (hopefully not).
Even 1-1. The report Elliotte gave seems like a scare tactic (by cbj) made in the latest stages of a negotiation to make your opponent overreach and overcompensate for lack of the unattainable assets (cat and dach). If the deal happens it will most likely be 3-4 pieces (think 21 first, michell, reichel, strome). All very valuable and a major overpay but keeps his core young players together (cat, dach, boqvist)
