I am talking about THIS trade. I understand that the trade has benefitted both sides. The circumstances under which the trade was made, however, were pathetic, and I'm certain that if Boston management had been less concerned with riding Joe Thornton out of town, not only would there be less backlash right now, but the team would have been better compensated for the guy who you have to remember was the #1 draft pick, team captain, and cornerstone of the Bruins franchise.
That I'll give you, the way the trade was handled is pure shit, but then again Boston management has always been known to be morons. My argument was less with you and more with those calling this the worst trade ever.
