By the same token, Hendry should be given a bit of praise for making this trade happen.
When the trade went through, I figured it wasn't horrible, but assumed we'd be sending Bradley off for nothing more than some money and a player we'd DFA and eat his contract. Silva has really surprised me thus far. It's starting to look like Hendry has made a very good trade.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
See, I can't get past the fact that I assume Hendry thought the same thing. Happy accident sure...but he gets credit for what, luck? I'd find it easier to give Larry Rothschild credit.
