[QUOTE="Shane Walsh, post: 1212621, member: 571538"] I don't think that abject failure is a fair descriptor here. Johns was the cost of getting rid of Sharp. They had to dump Sharp prior to the season regardless due to "locker room issues" and nobody would take him without a sweetener being thrown in. It is unfortunate that our only return on this deal was cap space and a healthier locker room, but cap space is cap space. I liked the trade deadline moves, they were understood as rentals from the start. The Seabrook deal is big, but he is considered part of the core. Seabrook is a polarizing figure on this team, fans either love him or hate him. Locking him up long term is no different. Bickell got his paper after a huge playoff performance in 2013. It is unfortunate that he is suffering from medical issues now, but it could not have been foreseen. Let us not forget about finding and signing Panarin and trading Saad when it became apparent there would be no home town discount. Anisimov was a huge get in the offseason, and came cheaper than Saad would have. [/QUOTE]
