I still maintain that DeMelo was one of only two guys we shouldn’t have traded, Merilainen is nice but like Kleven+Merilainen or Niemela/Hirvonen+Merilainen? Not a big difference there imo. The other one being Stone of course, I would have much preferred to keep him, give him 80mil and the C and call it a day. I feel much better about Tkachuk-White-Stone / Stutzle-Norris-Batherson / Formenton-Pinto-C. Brown, and if we keep Stone maybe White develops better (maybe not to a true 1C but at least to a passable point until Pinto steps into the top 6). Regardless I would trade Merilainen+Brannstrom+Sokolov for Stone+DeMelo in a heartbeat.
