No I do not.Do you trust this organization not to give the house away for an average player?

the trade wasnt disastrous sure, but if we give up assets it should be for someone [a rental] who is a good deal better than shattenkirk. ideally if we give up important assets we get someone with termI really don't want to see them target an average player either, but I think it's weird to suspect they will trade the farm for an average player under the current management. Under GMBM the biggest asset they've given away was Vrana+ for Mantha. The jury's out on that trade of course, but at least they got a proven top 6 player with term and got out from under Panik's cap hit.
The Shattenkirk trade was hardly a disaster either. Zach Sanford is a bottom 6 NHL player who doesn't move the needle, and the late first round pick ended up being Morgan Frost who is a fringe NHLer. Again, maybe not the best trade in hindsight but it's not like it set them back either.
The result of the Shattenkirk trade (basically no negative long-term consequences) is why I'm not scared of giving up assets for a very good rental.

I'm pretty sure Detroit is very happy with the trade regardless.Seems dramatic, but ok....conversely....the only thing keeping it from being a disaster for Detroit is Mantha's injury.
