A late first and three almost worthless throw-ins for Matt Roy doesn't cut it. In particular, calling Gaudette a "roster filler" when you have him in the AHL and your team has half the depth at center as ours is especially hilarious. B-prospect SDA would be fifth on our depth chart at that position (and that's not including the 5 centers who are on the NHL roster now) and almost certainly would never see the NHL and the over-the-horizon fourth has the value of a 2023 sixth. That package doesn't even make sense for Jordan Spence or Helge Grans because it's simply sacrificing the years of development for each of them in return for a first.
