If we didn't make that trade, we wouldn't have made the playoffs last year. Methot was our best dman, and is our 2nd best now that Karlsson is back. Foligno was like our 5th or 6th best forward, and despite the point totals was just another support player that's easier to replace than a top pairing dman.
My point of contention is not the value Methot brought... He was fantastic
But in the way the player was obtained... If a Methot type talent could have been acquired without moving Foligno.
Foligno in all honesty should have been a core piece... If we needed a stop gap guy on D players like Derek Morris / Zbynek Michalek are always available if you have some money... Old aging vets making 3.5
