As soon as there is a stumble the Schenn haters flock to the boards. They just cannot bear to give the young man any credit for being a solid pro. I wonder what they will say if he ever was named an All-Star? Oops!! I am pulling for Frost big time to help us out in the future because right now the Blues/Flyers trade is pretty much ranked second only behind the Edmonton/New Jersey deal as lopsided trades by all the so called experts.
He was obviously overachieving thanks to a hot start and playing with really hot players too. Schenn was never staying at PPG+. Schenns streaky, you have to expect the hot and the cold and not be shortsighted enough to expect either to last.
There's no winner in this trade, both teams got what they wanted. The pathetic need of certain fans to declare a winner and loser in any trade shows how uncommon common sense is.
It's as dumb as going to a store and trying to declare a winner/loser on every purchase... you give value to get value. Each side obviously values what they're receiving more than what they're giving up... otherwise they wouldn't do the trade. Once in a while a trade is lopsided enough to say one side got a bad deal, but that's rare and obviously not the case here.
And the appeal to authority is a cherry on top of this ridiculous post. Feel shame.
