Really dude.. the series isn't over yet.

I need an update on this.

Yea Jeannot could prove it wrong next year but trading a draft class of picks and a young Dman for a guy who missed game one than was a healthy scratch games 5 and 6 does not seem like good asset management

Can’t use the got the cup excuse for this trade, this is definitely going to go down as a all time worst one, there is no way Nashville doesn’t get at least 2 NHLers from those picks

What are your thoughts now?

My thoughts are the same as before. Like I said, he's not a rental. If you want to jump on the wagon that thinks this is the worst trade in history, be my guest. If you can't understand why he was a healthy scratch or why this trade is far from being able to be judged, that's fine too, it don't affect me none.

Doubling down and moving the goalposts.

Your thinking is so one-dimensional, it's insane.

Injuries happen. Whatever.

My issue with getting Jeannot:

JBB went against what worked previous years. Goodrow, Coleman, Hagel, and Paul were all having career years when we traded for them. Jeannot was having his worst year and we still paid a premium for him.
I don't mind spending assets at the deadline, but JBB's hubris got the better of him here.

It is now and he was a -3 in three games.

Yikes.

I understand trading to get depth for a playoff run, but in that case, you trade a midlevel pick.

Christ, Toronto traded a 3rd for Luke Schenn and Luke Schenn clearly had a bigger impact on the series.

I just checked...

Cal Foote scored 1 goal and added 3 assists while being a +3 in 24 games with Nashville.
Jeannot scored 1 goal and added 3 assists while being a -8 in 23 games with Tampa Bay, including playoffs.

If it were a 1 for 1 trade, it would be even right now.

Nashville getting a player and 5 draft picks in criminal.

At the time of this trade, I didn’t realize that Jeannot was a pending RFA. I was thinking this was another Hagel trade. That one looked like an overpay until you realized that the value in that trade was in Hagel’s contract – two more years at only $1.5M and then still a RFA after that. This was not the same thing at all, because Jeannot had no contract after the 2023 playoff run. They acquired him for an unknown number of years at an unknown cap hit. I think it looks better now that they’ve signed him for two more years, and if he bounces back to anywhere close to his old form he will be underpaid for those two years (though still not quite the bargain Hagel’s contract is), but it was risky clearing the cupboard for somebody who could have been awarded a higher AAV and a shorter term in arbitration.

The right question to ask when you’re evaluating this trade is not whether Tampa Bay will probably get more out of Jeannot than they would have got out of those draft picks if they had kept them, but whether they could have got more out of those picks by using them in different trades instead of burning them all on Jeannot. It’s all about the opportunity cost.

There was sticker shock with this trade due to the quantity of picks. If Nashville put out a memo that they would trade all those picks in a package deal for a 2023 1st, I don't think anyone would take them up on it. The 3rd/4th/5th are all at the end of the round. The 1st is protected so it is anywhere from 2-3 years away. The 2nd is a year away and is probably also going to be at the end of the round.

The above is the reason why Tampa had to give up such a strange package. Nashville was probably asking for something like a 2023 1st, and both sides had to get creative. Whether it was the wrong player to go after or not, the picks aren't nearly the value people made them out to be. If Tampa traded a late 1st for Jeannot, people wouldn't care nearly as much despite a late 2023 1st arguably being more valuable than this entire package.

Cal Foote didn't get qualified and signed a 2 way contract Jeannot resigned.

That makes the trade even worse. Cal Foote didn't play well enough to get a qualifying offer, yet he was still better than Jeannot was after the trade. Now Tampa has given away 5 draft picks for an OVERPAID player.

So the fact he was injured his third game means absolutely nothing at all .... That's a moronic take that shows you have no clue what so ever. Trades aren't just for 12 games especially when you resign a RFA

He was a healthy scratch the in playoffs.

No he wasn't healthy. Have you ever had a severe high ankle sprain? I broke my arm and it wasn't as painful. I can't imagine being 210lbs and trying to skate at an NHL level on one

Pretty safe to say Brisebois has buyers remorse on this deal. That many picks for a bottom 6 winger with less than 40 points over THREE seasons is an oof.

For sure. Jeannot has not planned out. Hopefully he keeps swinging tho, his record is pretty good.

Just to add. Playoff contenders trade away picks for a long playoff run. End of the playoff.....15 teams that were buyers get no value, but only Cup winners do.
For example the Leaf have made so many TDL trades in previous seasons, and still don't have many top picks in the 24, 25, 26 drafts...for what, one playoff round win.
