I dont think it had anytthing to do with taking the better deal from Dallas. It was a combonation of Lou not wanting to deal with Philly and maybe Langenbrunner wanted to be loyal to Lou and wouldnt accept a deal to any east team. If he had gone to another East team like Pittsburgh or Boston for the same conditional 3rd then that would be different.
I would rather pass on a deal like this then overpay with say a 1st and a 3rd. Holmgren made a decent offer and lou didnt want to do it. You move on and find something else.
