Even Bullshitter Blob is forced to admit Sutter and Bonino are of similar value.
A 9-spot pick upgrade (55th to 64th) shouldn't be worth filling your diaper over there Mr Bubbles.
Face it, the only reason your pull-ups runneth over is because: You. Can't. Handle. A. Rebuild.
Sutter is at least a 9-spot-pick-upgrade better than Bonino...

As I've said before, a WIN-WIN trade... each team did the other a favour y'might say.
Pens needed to watch their capspace as they were Cup contenders.
Nucks needed the asset who was willing to stick around through a rebuild.
And the two players have similar salaries now on the 'next contract' everyone knew was coming.

FLORIDA PANTHERS ALSO HAD CAP ISSUES which was why they divested themselves of Erik Gudbranson. A blue chip prospect like Jared McCann + a 4th round pick SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ENOUGH.
Y'know, prefacing something with "Fact" or CAPITALIZING... isn't going to convince anyone of anything.
It's funny how players like Bonino/Clendening/McCann were garbage in your eyes
... right up until the day they were traded away.

Throwing in a 33rd overall pick in an excellent draft was retarded.
You haven't been paying attention.
RHS 24-yr-old dmen with Top-4 potential are at a premium these days.
It's odd how you love Gudbranson the player... but expect to acquire him for next-to-nothing.
You missed your calling -> you should be a Leaves fan.

Trading Garrison for a 2nd was fine. I never had a problem with it. Trading a 2nd for Vey was a terrible trade. Only a fucking mongoloid would argue that.

You've been told many times that a 50th overall seldom plays as many games as Vey has played.
And you know damn well that after the trade Vey was traumatized/demoralized by off-ice events.
The Garrison trade was made so that GMJB acquired the pick LA wanted for Vey.
Garrison for pre-traumatized Vey = good trade

Andrei Pedan isn't an NHL player. Another poor trade.
Andrei Pedan was 21 when acquired by GMJB... we will see if he yet becomes an NHL player.
Also GMJB reacquired the 3rd-round-pick he gave up for Pedan (in the Lack trade)
I look at it this way: Lack for Pedan + 7th.
And as I say: Garrison for pre-traumatized Vey.
If we're trying to grade GMJB's overall score it makes more sense, is more fair, to look at the bigger picture.
