But he’s not a guy we needed to give that deal to. We already have three players that we want on our third line (Pinto, Grieg, Formy) and we still had Brown when we sent him over to TB.
He wasn't asking for that deal prior to his playoffs, it was reported he was asking for 3 mil for 4 years from us and we offered 2.5 x 4 yrs.

I do think losing Formenton and Brown made the impact of the Paul trade hurt more, I also think people have soured way too quick on Joseph. Paul was home grown (for the most part) and really popular both in the room and by fans, what's frustrating is we gave pretty much the exact deal Paul was asking for to Joseph after he has a great dozen games with us, and he's followed that up with a down year.

I’m ok with that though. I don’t think Paul is a guy we wanted to give term to.

Joseph is younger and has room to show his worth, but I just love the speed, especially on the PK.

I think we know what Paul is, and it’s worth trying to get a little more in that bottom six than to settle on a player that I think we’d be looking to replace regardless when guys like Ostapchuk and Grieg are full time players.
 
Weird that nobody whines about losing Mike Amadio for nothing, but we're usually treated to a semi-monthly screed about how Dorion is an idiot for waiving Balcers.

Balcers aside if I may;

What were your impressions of Amadio when he briefly played here?

Yeah. He played 11 “of that OT”. That’s 33 minutes averaged out an entire game
4 periods x 11 = 33 lol actuallly played over 36 :amazed:
