Quoting: Caerii
Have you watched Patrick this year at all?
I agree that Greenway won't get a top prospect back, but Patrick is far from a prize, and the fact that he was drafted second overall almost five years ago doesn't mean anything at this point. He's a bottom six center.
I'll admit I haven't, but he's only 23. Which is slightly less then a year younger than Greenway, he's cheaper, under contract until 2023, and has only played 4 games this year. Not because he was scratched, but because he's once again on IR. His primary issue is he can't stay healthy, which is a major concern, but is the type of player we can expect back from a Greenway trade.
It's more or less a trade of reclamation projects for one another, because at this point, that's what Greenway is. We just get the added bonus of getting a solid bottom sixer in Janmark on top of it because Patrick's hurt.
You're the one who said we couldn't move Greenway for Stephenson. Well, this is the only other type of return we're going to get for Greenway. And his value drops by the day.
