I was an early Gillis supporter, but this is just insane. The last few years have just been brutal, the awful Hodgson trade, bad drafting, not getting rid of AV soon enough, horrible deadline moves, and now this.
When they got rid of Schneider, it was defendable when they were keeping Lou since he was untradeable. Clearly that wasn't the case. Now, they've got neither.
I said a few days ago that no way would they be stupid enough to get rid of Kesler. Well, they've certainly proved themselves stupid enough.
We're going to be a lousy team for a good 5+ years now. If we're lucky. Probably more like 7-10.
So Gillis should have stubbornly stuck with Luongo because of a past mistake. Sounds like throwing good money after bad to me. Again, rip the guy to pieces for trading Schneider. Fair game. Today's deal does absolutely nothing to affect last year's trade.
