I think he gets caught up in the name of the player available too much. Name value really shouldn't mean much to GMs, but I think it means a lot to Sather. To be more specific, Antro was a big name available, and Sather got him for a 2nd rounder (and a conditional 4th rounder). That's a solid deal. Morris was another name available, and I think Sather overpaid for him. I never liked Morris, so I'm a bit biased. He had one good year, and he is still getting paid for it. Dawes and Prucha could have fetched a lot more than just Morris. That clear it up a bit? Yea, I realized I wasn’t clear when I posted that.
