Jarry friggin sucks dude
Yea but Granlund gone with 0% retention (amazing how he made it 2 trades without a single dollar of retention). CDS, disposed of. Petry needed to go in this trade so to pay some retention there is understandable. Rutta, well, I feel he also probably needed to go now that we are paying a d-man 10 mil. Tough to justify that cap hit for a 3rd pairing when we have POJ and Ty Smith right now.Petry wasn't trash though. Just overpaid. Probably coulda played at a 4.5 or 5M level.
Rutta wasn't trash either. DeSmith is a league average backup. Ned could be worse for sure.
Given the circumstances this is a marvel of a trade, seriously. I don't think it completely walks back the atrocity that was the Tristan Jarry deal, but it sure as hell will pump this org up to be running 87-71-65-58 out there. I mean how fun is that for Sid and Geno's last hoorah into the sun..
