Both teams lost and so did the NHL.
CBJ moves up one spot in the draft and get Roslovic for a 3rd. I guess those over inflated values on him can stop now eh?
But honestly, I don't like this deal for either or the NHL. You can't keep having guys force their way off small market teams. You don't have a league without them. Someone needs to sit these players down and bring them back down to reality. You can't grow fan bases by doing the **** PLD did. You don't have a league without all those smaller market teams.
So if you end up on one of those teams, like it or not you got to start being all in. That's how you grow a team, a fan base, and the league. To do what these younger players are doing, demanding trades, I won't play here etc... it's toxic not only for the small market teams but the whole league.
It worked out in a swap of them today, but it's a bad precedent to set and one they need to get control of if they ever plan to grow hockey outside of NY, TOR, and MTL.
