Quoting: pens1991
a first round pick for a 4th liner, an undrafted player and a future 3rd guy.
For a team that's very close to a rebuild lol.
Awful
So I'm going to assume you missed this part of the trade explanation:
"I tend to ignore the opinions of people who make calls on prospects based on draft pedigree more than a year after they have been selected/signed. More than anything, it tells me they have not actually viewed the player in question and are basing their opinion on outdated information or the opinions of others who are doing the same.
I've watched about 40 games of the Marlies (if not more) this season alone. I know what they have down there and how they compare to what other teams have. If you want a serious hockey discussion about what they do and don't do, I'll engage. You want to shoot one line trolls based on nothing but ill informed hot takes I won't."
Niemela is a third pairing guy as long as Letang and Karlsson are there. How long do you think that will be?
