The only guy who was given away was Ribeiro. I didn't like trading Lapierre, but he wasn't given away. He's a 4th line center which got an ahl player and a pick. Steckel got a pick as well. No one's going to trade the farm for a 4th liner.
As far as Grabovski, like I said earlier, he was an older prospect who proven nothing in the nhl and had no reputation like a guy like Seguin has or even Hall. We got a second and a prospect for a prospect. Just to put that into perspective...Islanders got a second for Wisniewski, a proven nhl and many people here said that was an overpayment. A better example would be Moore, Florida got a second for him and everyone lost their minds. We got a second and a prospect for a player who hadn't done anything in the nhl and wasn't considered a bluechip prospect. I'd hardly call that giving away.
