back at ya with most of you think every move our gm makes is BRILLIANT! i thought graovac skated well for a big guy.
fine, you win, we'll call him a garbage player that we were lucky to salvage a 5th for HAPPY?
Trading a meh 4th liner (at best) for a pick isn't as bad as you think it is.
GMCF is a relatively good GM. He turned Cal Clutterbuck into Nino. He signed a 1C for $3.5m cap hit. He's held onto some outstanding players his regime has draft (Granlund, Zucker, Haula, Brodin, Dumba, etc). He signed Parise/Suter. He's built a successful team.
His bad moves are Leddy for Barker, signing Pominville for so long, and trading away picks like candy after Parise/Suter signed for a bunch of meh players (Stewart, Moulson, etc).
I think if you are mad about this move then you are kinda being overcritical of GMCF.
