What did we get instead? Kassian, a working project, Booth a salary cap weight (Imagine we had $4.2M this summer to shop for UFAs), a buy out in Ballard, Higgins extension and Richardson as our third line centre.

At that time Grabner couldn't crack our line up. (He couldn't even do it in Florida). (I think it's unfair to say he's a proven asset) We traded for certainty at that time and that was Ballard. Signing Hamhuis in the summer made the trade much worse.
Coho / Schneider - Although I think it's too early to judge these two trades at the moment. My only critique of Gillis was why didn't he wait and see what offers were available? It seems like he didn't wait as patiently as he did with trading Luongo...
