In some fantasyland is that anywhere close to the package Tampa sent to New York for McDonagh and Miller.
How is it "fantasy land" ? The grass isn't always greener here. Tampa Bay didn't give up a Kapanen, Liljegren or even a Dermott in this. You can say their package was slightly better if that's your opinion but to say it's fantasy land is exaggerating quite a bit.
Namestnikov is highly regarded for having a season close to the season of Connor Brown last season. only difference is that Namestnikov was playing with literally the 2 hottest players in the league, one of them likely winning the Rocket trophy, and Brown was with Komarov and Kadri. He's turning 26 this year while Brown just turned 24.
I find it bizarre that people think Namestnikov is suddenly some sort of top line winger or whatever. He's a good player but don't be surprised if he regresses quite a bit.
The prospects given up aren't exactly top notch or blue chip quality either and hardly putting this over the top.
