I'll try to weed out your points, here. Let's start by striking all of this DeAngelo talk that is completely unrelated (so far as I can tell).
so the yotes get a contract, an ohl prospect for a 1st, a 2nd and joe vitale. that is called getting taken behind the woodshed.
You believe that Chychrun and 1.3million in real dollar savings is less beneficial for the Coyotes than Cholowski, Hronek and no dollars saved of real money? It's worth it to you to have 1.3 million extra dollars of actual budget space tied up, just to not have the pretend 7.5m on the books that has no impact of any kind of the team, just so you can have Cholowski and Hronek instead of Chychrun?
other veteran gm's this offseason have gotten a 2nd round pick and teuvo teravainen from teams in this situation. this is why he got shafted and any hockey writer claiming the yotes won at this draft is an idiot imo.
Bickell costs real dollars. Do you understand the difference?
the fact he didn't get a pulkkinen or jurco from detroit to go with giving up their 1st was just way to damn much to give/not get from detroit to help them out as much as they did.
So you're saying Pulkkinen or Jurco would've been the difference, here? That if only Chayka had convinced Detroit to part with some soon to be waiver fodder, you'd be on board with this trade?
So, in your mind:
Dumping 1.3mil and getting Chychrun for Cholowski and Hronek is getting taken behind the woodshed.
But Dumping 1.3mil and getting Chychrun
AND Pulkkinen for Cholowski and Hronek is A-Okay.
Is that right?
