A prospect that could very well be at his peak value , and all our young players are still mostly on ELC's. I have absolutely no issues personally with Benning giving these kids a legit shot at playoffs, and moving out a kid who would probably have never played here, and a pick that, if Benning feels is worth it , can be recouped with moving other players that are deemed expendable after the playoff push. That's my opinion. Yes , i would love to have kept both the pick, and Madden, but we got a great winger in return that , to me , is well worth the price at this point in time.

Again, where would Madden have played Alf. Who would u like to have seen him replace exactly? Seriously, u don't think Madden and his agent might have been nervous we already have 3 young core centers? Explain where u think Madden would have become a full time centre on our roster. It's more like " who will be better in three years , Gaudette or Madden". That is what the organization was asking themselves .The fact u don't see that sort of baffles me .

Not to mention the fact we have 3 legit, young core centres already. Madden didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beat out Gaudette for the third line centre position, and he sure as hell would not be bumping Bo . So where would he have played ? Keep him in case we need a stop gap if one of those guys gets injured instead of Toffoli? Anyone think Madden would be willing to be a secind/ third line centre backup? There is ZERO chance that would have worked out IMO.

No very true. Do like the player. Could work out just fine , just a bit of a shock to the system. I think he will fit in well here. I was just a Madden fan is all, but at least we have a known quantity in Toffoli. Given a change of scenery, he may even be better then we anticipate, like Miller has been. I do trust Jims judgment for the most part.
