I think you are forgetting how pessimistic I was about Casey Mittlestadt . I always found him to be occasionally dynamic, and frequently disappointing. Given we had an emerging Tage Thompson and Dylan Cozens, I am more than sure the allure of a prototypical 3rd line center would have been plenty of motivation for me to have optimism regarding a deal like that one.
Edit- I would have likely expected the return be McLeod +. I am not sure what plus would have made me happy to move the better offensive player though.
Thx. Regarding “another fall”, 2 Summers ago I went down much harder at a slippery boat ramp and broke and displaced my tailbone. There is no surgical procedure with good outcomes for that. I live with that one every day.
This is what whisky is made for.
On day 1 of our vacation I took another fall on a boat ramp. No hospital visits or anything, but my foot, knee, and right hand are still messed up. Its not vacation over, but sure did throw a damp towel over it.
