Which one fan is that?
He is pretty much universally lambasted here.
We're Zombie fans...we eat our own as well.as others.
Semantics, metaphor…the proverbial “us Canuck fans”. What I’m saying is how a fan base feels emotionally about a player isn’t necessarily how an inquiring team judges said player, that would be some piss poor pro scouting if you ask me. He had an enough value in the eyes of the “pros” to be added to Four Nations.
Remains to be seen. I imagine through your cryptic highbrow speak, you are referencing the ask coming out of most fans and media on the return on Sherwood?? I don’t know. If one considers what Danault and Marchment returned it isn’t egregious for a fan to harmlessly suggest a first round pick is possible.

Teams are probably reluctant to give up their 1st yet due to league wide parody. They want to see their teams over a longer run just in case they suffer injury or the like.
The ask being a 1st plus a prospect is rich especially this early. Desperate Jim Benning/Ken Holland/Mike Millbury types will sell their souls closer to the deadline
This will be a weird TDD because of all that parity as Cuz mentions. There will be a lot of managers trying to figure out whether their middle-of-the-pack-yet-still-in-the-playoffs is worth being a buyer or seller. There will be buyers who will have regret come June. Hope one of them buys our players.

Not being in on that playoff bubble is going to kill Cheap Bastard.
