Thanks for the History lesson Strange.
You seem to be doing that thing again where you don't like it when people change their minds when circumstances change.
1. Luongo was past his best-before date at the time of the trade (as I noted above);
2. I was never a big Luongo guy post-2009;
3. The return for Luongo looked decent at the time of the trade;
4. Turns out both Matthias and Markstrom are spare-part type players; and
5. Now we are punting one for absolutely nothing.
So, what started as a decent and with some potential, is now Shawn Matthias for the active (regular season) wins leader. Unless of course JM clears waivers and eventually unseats one or all of Lack, Miller, Erickson (and Demko) on the depth chart.
Yeahno, it's not "changing your mind".
It's "talking out of both sides of your mouth".
And you just did it again.
BTW you failed to see the possibility of Markstrom being
yet traded.
See, now that he's cleared waivers, the acquiring team can place him directly on their farm team.
Or, imagine this, Markstrom is lights-out in Utica and a desperate team loses their backup to injury.
Or hey, Markstrom is lights-out in Utica and is very trade-able next summer.
