I am not on the trade committee and I hate seeing detroit get any stronger of a team but in Tubbs defense,,,, There have been similar calibre players being dropped/bought out throughout free agency, Richards, Couture to name 2. He managed to get a return on hossa, not sure how this deal is veto'd taking into account past transactions this season. Although I think his timing is poor and should have made this move before FA started.
I hear ya Snug! In Tubbs defense, yes any manager is entitled to rebuild anyway they see fit. Of course, we've seen this strategy and approach by other teams in FNHL and given the lack of activity during ABO, prior to FA opening, throughout FA, I'm concerned about the direction and the sudden purge. I also saw purge Malone, your purge an All-Star L1 trio and dump Couture but we've also all seen you guys actively rebuilding with some good consistency. My issue is recruiting a new owner for a crippled franchise (that BTW doesn't own a starting goalie) down the line when the roster looks like [ fill in the blank ]. Finally, given there's a 10% overage during the off-season... not sure why the rebuilding hasn't already started ... and now we're at the end of FA and 1 week away from the Transaction Freeze period.
I'm not on the TC but I have to say no one likes to see a team get weaker after a trade. Unfortunately one team comes away weaker if this deal gets passed.
