That's a pretty darn weak return. Taking back Chia's small trade master badge.
Maybe that’s what Maroon is worth?
I know, hard to fathom HFboard members overvaluing their favourite teams players. But maybe, just maybe....

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Considering Chiarelli's inability to maximize value (he's done quite the opposite usually) I'm not surprised. I'm not even disappointed.
Maroon will probably sign for cheap elsewhere too.
Maroon for a turd and some Dudek. Woo.

Or maybe just maybe Chia is a terrible GM who gets beat like a thrice-rented mule and returns poor value in 95% of his trades.

I am happy with the return. Asset management. My guess is that maroon was either asking too much or they plan on resigning him July 1st

I mean really...what was his value? A lot of posters on here like to pretend that they know what the return should have been but we are talking about a very inconsistent poor defensive player who has inflated numbers because of McDavid.
So how can this return be underwhelming?
Its by and large just the same negative posters looking for a reason, any reason, to whine and complain.

Once all the big moves went down there probably wasn’t much interest left. Decent return. More than we paid for him when he had 2 years left and salary retained. Wouldn’t be surprised with the lack of interest today if no one is willing to dish out big $ for him in July and he circles back to us.

It's hilarious to think that Chia has turned three quality wingers into Larsson, Strome, a 3rd and a B-level prospect.

A guy that is purely a product of McDavid.
I would of rather kept Maroon, but he wants more money then he’s worth.

Wasn't the narrative all season that we were hoping for a 2nd but expecting a 3rd? Now he gets moved for a 3rd and the board melts down.
He wasn't signing an extension guys. Had to get something.

it’s funny that chia had to call a press conference before the trade deadline to announce he was mulling over some “hockey trades” and wanted to go after players not more draft picks, and then continues to trade 2/3 roster players for late picks.
Maybe if we package up the third, fourth, and adberg, we can get a second rounder to make up for the one we lost when we hired Chia.
Either way, as easy as it is to get caught up in the hype, the return was pretty much exactly as expected. In the end we traded Gernat for a couple seasons of maroon and a third round pick. Which in the scheme of things, is a win.
Now if only we had another winger on the team who would score a goal.

Or there wasnt much of a market for 20 games worth of Maroon.
Vanek garnered an inferior return to both Maroon and Letestu. He is a much more productive player this season as well than Maroon has been. You can only compare the return got in the current market. The market was soft

Who's impersonating? We're in 26th place. Lots to be excited about for this team and it's future. Or so I'm told anyway.
Not one top 6 winger on this roster. Good Lord.
Keith, we have the same amount of actual top 6 wingers on our team now than we did a few hours ago.
