And Comrie could've netted Perry and a 1st, had Lowe pulled that trade off instead of being a hot head you'd need to find something else to complain about.
Since you seem to like taking the negative side of things I will take the counter point and shut this down in a hurry.
Fact: We signed one of the most highly sought after FA's to the same contract that any team in the league could've signed him to.
Fact: He chose Edmonton because he likes what we're doing here and he likes the city.
Fact: He did not cost us any assets to acquire.
Fact: If he demands a trade later on and he reaches his upside we will get a trade return for a player that we got for free asset wise.
Fact: If he doesn't pan out he will stay in the AHL until we trade him, or lose him on waivers.
