[QUOTE="SnakePlissken, post: 1645849, member: 746392"] I don't have a problem with the trade - Keith asked for it and the return is quite good considering the situation. That said, I have trouble getting excited for the near-term future. If we're not going to be a contender this year (agreed) and probably next (ugh), we've wasted 5+ years of prime Patrick Kane. I haven't seen enough from the youth on this team, particularly on D, to think adding a high-priced free agent like Hamilton or trading valuable assets for Jones and signing him to a big deal is really going to move the needle. I think Stan said it best during the glory years - it's the bad teams that get excited about having cap space. I am very interested to see what CBJ finally gets for Jones. I won't be upset if we lose that sweepstakes. [/QUOTE]
