Like someone said earlier, Diaz's value was not going to climb any higher whether now or later. Teams are not racing to get a smallish DMan who finally scored a goal after 45 games to meet their needs at the deadline.
It does, however, bring a player in who will give Bergevin the option to deal Bourque or Moen or both since Weise is younger and has size.
As usual, trades are great entertainment on this board.
Trades are very entertaining. Some people just needed an outlet to whine about Bergevin more, some people wanted a reason to let out their frustrations with the team's play, some people genuinely overrated Diaz or underrated Weise, etc.
All I know is that the trade is too minor to get so upset over. I think Weise has a promising future as an effective bottom six player, and Diaz was part of a big logjam at defense for next season. I think his value could've been a bit higher because he was good in many situations, but I'm not too upset with the trade in general.
People are just very emotional on these boards. That's why I often post when I know I won't let emotions form my opinions.
