This is a really interesting idea. I'd never put this together myself, but its really compelling. It really shows the value of the phrase "history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme…

The bad news is that we lose Windsor in this trade. The good news is that we pick up Seattle and Minneapolis.

According to Denis Leary, he would be an "asshole". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs
