Losing Sbisa hurts a bit, I really liked the kid. He still wasn't ready for top-six duty though. I don't even care about the picks; two late firsts could turn out to be nothing in this league, and either way they wouldn't be on this team for years. And we had to get rid of Lupul's contract.

Gotta give to get, and Philly certainly did get! Holmgren looks to win NOW and worry about lost potential later.
