Yeah, I know rationally that it's a necessary move since we don't have the cap room and so many guys have contracts up this off season. And it's better to trade him this off season instead of waiting for him to hit UFA, but I'm still going to be totally heartbroken when the inevitable happens. :(
Having Parayko around does soften the blow a bit because I really love that kid. And on the bright side, we've also got really great prospects in Schmaltz and Vannelli, and even some up-and-coming LHD with Dunn and Lindbohm.

I just wish we could keep everyone forever. Sigh.
