Schultz screwing us, and how Murray didn't resign Beauchemin in the first place made this deal seem retarded. But just looking at the deal itself it wasn't that bad.

I'm not sure this trade is defendable at all. the Ducks are on the verge of a massive rebuild and they trade away a good prospect for a guy who was on the way out in Toronto? Even ignoring the fact that they traded away Lupul, who went on to have a solid season.
