And got paid, that's the thing too. Not saying Shep isn't a man of his word but as he'll tell you, most just want to get someone cheap..

It was pretty obvious the guys in there to try and get Vanek cheap, and the guys that were legitimately trying to get Vanek with good value, without being forced into a bidding war.

It was fun, such a variety of offers.

In total, I received 13.

I think I paid fair value.. sligt overpayment but getting the best player deserves that. No big deal.. I'm super happy with the trade.
