Devilishly good

Ew. If you’re going to give that up go get stone....ew. That’s just awful

I think you are missing the term you get with these two. Unless they find a way to move Backes I can't see how they can afford to resign Stone.

Still. Crazy overpay for second tier talent

Not still, you just total moved the goal posts there. Stone is for one playoff drive. Those two get you three. Woods with elite size and speed combo and Palmieri is the 2nd line RW Boston needs. They would still have issues with fitting under the cap with those two, there you would at least have an argument. They can't all be 1st line players, depth and speed is the name of the game in this NHL.

I’m not saying those guys aren’t good players, but this trade is horrible
