if garth gets ripped just because he wants to flip him b4 the olympics, i will lose it
On the one hand, you could argue they are doing it to save money, and thus, will lose value.
On the other hand you could argue that it is wiser to do it now, as opposed to trying to do it after Vanek brakes something during the Olympics.
I am more an option #2 opinion. I also think we will get a good haul back for him. Please be with LA, as they are chock full of good young defensemen. But to believe that The 4th Period would break anything substantial... I am having a very hard time with that concept.
