Hard not to view this as a failure by Raftis. Unless he has another destination already arranged for the trade deadline.
It's a real stretch to consider this any kind of failure. This sets a nice market for Nordh, as he is a better player than Alriksson. Plenty of teams have room for an import.
Erie: Misiak is having a rough year and could also open up an OA spot.
Kitchener: Has an open spot
Niagara: Has an open spot
Oshawa: I'm sure they would deal David Svozil if it meant getting Nordh.
Windsor: Would certainly give up Josef Eichler if it meant getting Nordh.
There's other teams too that may be surprise buyers.
If we get less than 2,3,3 for Nordh or don't deal him at all then there was a failure, but the notion that this trade represents any failure on our part is utterly ridiculous.
