The Winnik and Galiardi Trade... Worth It?

Now that the season's over, I feel like we've gotten a good look at the full ability of Jami McGinn for the Avs. At first when we traded Winnik and Galiardi for McGinn, I was confused and somewhat reluctant, but my feelings quickly changed upon seeing McGinn's skills with us. I think over all, it was a good trade. Something was obviously going wrong with Gali and Coach Sacco, whether it was Sacco didn't like Gali's style or a deeper issue, no one will know, but I think this trade was a fair trade that was necessary for all the players involved. McGinn has obviously clicked with the Avs very well, and Gali had gotten some chances to play and finally showcase his talent. My one complaint is that he still doesn't play very much, which kind of defeats the purpose of trading him to a place that he could be given an actual chance, but it's better than his situation with the Avs. I will always like both Galiardi and Winnik, but I have no complaints about the trade at all.
