Apparently the rumored return is 2 picks but that isn't accurate enough to really do much, how much do
Rights for someone like him go for? vesey got a 3rd
Absolute garbage return.
Vesey brings a 3rd yet somehow the geniuses in our FO decided a 6th and a conditional 4th in 17' would be a great price for Yandle
****ing pathetic

LOL at not understanding how UFA rights work. Would you rather lose him for nothing? Come on now.
I don't think that return is good. Gorton has really struggled to get a good return in trades so far. Its better than nothing since I doubt we are re-signing Yandle, but I think he could get more than that for Yandle's rights.
Well, let's see, Buffalo gets an extra month and a half of exclusivity to sign a player who, per the terms of the CBA, MUST sign an ELC with a max AAV of less than $1MM.
Whereas FLA traded for about a week to chat with a guy who is going to sign something like a 7 year, $45MM deal.
But sure, the Vesey trade is an appropriate comp that proves Gorton sucks.
I think you're the one who doesn't understand how it works. Tell me the success rate of a 6th round pick. We DID lose him for nothing.
Trade is only not an abomination if he signs in FLA. Even then the pick should've been this year. A 2017 4th round pick that even makes it to the NHL is going to contribute to your roster in 2020 best case scenario. Awesome
