This might be unpopular, but this trade makes absolutely no one happy, not even Columbus. Retaining $4.5M for two more years is a bad idea, and trading your A-wearing top-pair D-man who's playing well, for a rental winger who likely won't stay, two late 1sts, 3 roster guys (one of whom we've already traded for AND away), and a single top prospect is absurd.
Should they take the deal if presented? Yes, absolutely, it's heavily in CBJ's favor. But no one likes it, and it's totally unrealistic to begin.
