Wow! Watching some of the NHL highlights from tonight's action, some of the goaltending was so bad, it was almost laughable.
The Av's for example are just bleeding goals right now with Georgiev and Annunen (who's he?)....meantime the Canes are trying to survive with waiver wire pickup Spencer Martin between the pipes. And Rittich in L.A. was bleached for seven goals by the lowly Sharks.
I guess the Canucks might eventually have a goaltender to deal. Maybe they can take advantage of a desperate team.

I laughed really hard.
Not at either trade itself, but how we subtly ruined the pond for others, even if it's just a little bit.
So this is what schadenfreude feels like?

Biz certainly looks like he gave more than he got. What a bunch of losers.

Chance is that he ends up being just another bottom 6 skilled forward
You can’t argue against that
I saw the mugshots, they look more husbands out on vacation in Arizona to "get away" from the wives.
That outcome is likely to be far more valuable than whatever the 2027 4th becomes - and that would still take nearly a decade from now to even reap the "reward".

It’s fine to have one or even two of those players in your line up
Problem is Dubas love acquiring this type of player like their candies
Sure. I agree with that point in general. Typically there isn't a big reward for blindly acquiring the Sea of Granlund.
But my argument, that I made in the original post you replied to (which you apparently cannot understand this point), is that this particular player (Tomasino) is intriguing to me in this kind of transaction, for various reasons.
If this were Linden Vey, I would not have the same opinion.

He might be! Which is a decent middle/bottom six NHL scorer, as you yourself said. That's much more valuable than the modal outcome for a 2027 4th round pick.
A "Sea of Granlund" as organizational depth is actually quite valuable. The issue with it in Vancouver was the price paid (both in acquisition cost and salary) for it. The Tomasino acquisition is neither. Would have loved that addition in Vancouver - even if he never improved he's an upgrade on Bains/Sasson/Hoglander on the 4th line.
