Making peace with the Petr Mrazek trade

Absolute distraught.

That’s how I felt when I read the release about the Red Wings’ return in the Petr Mrazek trade. How could they sell so low? A goalie who at one point was the bonafide cornerstone piece of the team’s future? At first, I was outraged. It was like a Matt Stafford Hail Mary in the 4th quarter. OOPS!

Then I sat down and thought about it — the conditions of the situation — they were never going to re-sign Petr Mrazek. The team has been softly-committed to the goaltender who brought them the most success, and that has been back-and-forth as of late.
