Why not? It illustrates the dichotomy. They were both RFA, traded for each other and both put on the trade block again.
When you hurt your cap so much you buyout players who could have sheltered youth as well, you can't afford insurance policies. It's not a Namestnikov issue, it's a cap issue. I'm surprised people are defending his spot on the team so strongly when we have cap issues and a GM actively shopping him. No one wants him here except the people defending every Gorton decision. He is a good role player on a team that can afford his bloated cap.
You’re talking Shattenkirk? He’d be more redundant than Namestnikov and everything- his contract, term and living up to this contact has been worse compared to Namestnikov.
