Quoting: Ledge_And_Dairy
Maybe he's traded but it is entirely possible that he's just not QO'd still. I would not put his value very high at all right now, definitely not returning Kerfoot.
There are pieces with value in that trade but it is at the end of the day a lot of quantity and not at all realistic.
It's a very slim possibility that he doesn't get QO'ed and there's that slim possibility with a lot of RFA's this class. Bear isn't special because of it.
We've seen traded with a lot of quantity as long as the pieces are of value. If you ignore Gardiner, who could easily be sent elsewhere, every piece there is of value. If you remove Lafontaine and Puistola, everything there is of strong value and that is an extremely reasonable package. Just because there's a lot of pieces doesn't mean they are all worthless, which is what your original point suggested.
Morrow is the Canes best prospect.
Suzuki is number 3 or 4
Necas is a 23 year old NHL player that put up 40 points in a down year and wants to play C.
2 1sts (unprotected by the way, when the Canes have goalies made of carbon fibre) are nothing to turn the nose up at.
Just proving that your original take (quantity > quality) was lazy. I'm not saying it's realistic, before you try and suggest that I said that. You have had a history of trying to spin my words.
