It's hilarious seeing Penguins fans cry about Sakic not negotiating in good faith because he didn't accept EXACTLY what JR offered, which was a brutal, brutal offer.
Hey, Pens fans, we'll trade you Rantanen + Jost + 1st for Crosby and you had BETTER accept, or else!
Pens fans know the deal with Maatta at this point and there's a reason why they're more than willing to toss him into any deal and then add more on top of that. Two years ago they wouldn't trade him straight up for O'Reilly.
Sakic had an awful day yesterday but I don't believe the decision to not pull the trigger on a blockbuster is why. That might be the one smart thing he did.
