The more I think about this, the more I actually like it. My first thought was that the price was too high. But then I started thinking:
1) Vrana is persona non grata with Lavy.
2) Panik is already on the taxi squad and we dumped his contract.
3) Apparently the 2021 draft class is weaker than we’ve recently had so losing that 1st may hurt less.
4) since Mantha is signed for 3 more years, this isn’t a rental.
So, it’s one guy Lavy isn’t playing plus one guy on the taxi squad plus a weaker than normal first plus the 2022 2nd for another Tom Wilson signed for the balance of our Cup window with Ovy/Backy.
In that light, I’m liking this trade more and more.

Lavs had no patience left for Vrana and he was so light on the puck it was maddening!
Fat Tony is definitely a playoff body, I like it!

Didn't see that coming.. I'll miss Jake The Snake, but he never really turned into what everyone was hoping. Sounds like Mantha is a big boy who can play! Guess we'll see.. Raffl doesn't sound bad either!
Jake can thank Sheary for taking his spot! If he had Sheary's tenacity on the puck this wouldn't of happened.
