Instead, he gets a second round pick that's actually higher than the one we sent Buffalo in the Regehr trade, and STILL gets his man. You'd think we'd appreciate that what with all the positive talk about trusting management that's been going on recently, but apparently doing EXACTLY what most of us want (philosophically speaking) still isn't good enough.
great post, its amazing how people want all these things then when they happen they complain.

"need to draft a #1 center" - that's his potential
"need to draft players with high potential" he has that
"need to pick up a 2nd rounder" - done
"trust Weisbrod's plan" - this was Weisbrod's choice

seems like alot of people just like to talk and suggest solutions but when push comes to shove its all just lip service.
