So what don't you like about the trade, other than being emotionally attached to Henrique (as most of us pretty much are)?This is true.

I didn’t say that it’ll turn out like Colorado but what you said is what they were like and how the fans responded when people said regression was coming. I don’t think the team will ever be a possession juggernaut but there’s a definite need to concede less shots and creAte more. Which in time I think will come and it’s partly why Shero acquired someone who could help stabilize the defensive core.It's a good thing we have a lot of talent, then.
I think it's a little silly to compare us to '14 Colorado when they had such a gongshow of mismanagement going on, while Shero has a history of shred moves and Castron's draft record is already paying off. We have much better leadership in the room and no egomaniac behind the bench.
I thought I was pretty clear in previous post? His numbers aren't very good and they haven't been for more than a year. I think we gave up too much for what we got(based on the last year plus). But maybe Vatanen improves? I don't know why his numbers fell so much?
And I never had a problem with giving up a 2nd for Mueller, but Henrique, Blandisi and a 3rd is a lot for his performance over the last year plus.
I hope you weren't referring to me? Because you know damn well I Never "proclaimed him a bust".

Perhaps you never used the word "bust", but you described him in every which way possible in which the only possible inference would be that he wouldn't be an NHL defenseman.
Then he scored a goal in preseason. And you softened a bit.
Then he scored another goal in the next preseason game. And you added a few more caveats and "clarifications" to the softening.
But you were still extremely negative on Mueller despite the softening.
No... I was negative on the notion that he could be a top 4 defenseman to start the season....and he wasn't.
He isn't waiver exempt...how could I think otherwise?You didnt even think he would last on the NHL squad for the full season.

I'm sure you have ready one out of context quote from a long argument about some other completely different point or me being obviously sarcastic.Allow me to rephrase; you didnt think he was good enough to play in the NHL in 2017.

Again I said he wasn't top 4 ready and that insured Moore was going to be our #2 LHD...I argued more about Moore being the wrong choice to keep during expansion than I ever did about Mueller's ability.Huh?
You ripped apart Mueller for WEEKS here, saying Mueller wasn't NHL ready, saying Mueller looks like he'll be a bust, saying you would put Mueller in last place on the Devils D depth chart, saying Mueller isnt as good as Merrill and you dont think he ever will be......etc......
It was over-the-top negativity.
