Well Lemieux is a better playoff performer. Tons of experience. ONe of the ideal guys to have for the playoffs...Maybe Chicago isn't looking forward to the future. Maybe they think Lemieux can lead them to the promised land now. Maybe you don't like the deal (I personally don't either) but with the prospect, it's not an uneven trade.
