Part of the working smartly is that giving up our first and 6.5 million dollar salary MIGHT have worked out? I would think you would want that move to be pretty much a guarantee if you are saying it was smart.

The Iginla trade wasn't a train wreck at all, from what little we can see today.

All we have seen today is outsiders laughing at the terrible return and Feaster apologists telling us sure it was bad but not really Feasters fault. Again doesn't seem to be working smart at all.

I have full confidence that his goal is to improve this hockey team and I'm thrilled that as a fan that means taking some risks. We've all heard about them using their stats and other methodologies to evaluate players and I think that's intriguing. It will likely generate different players of interest, but so far it looks decent. Hudler, Cervenka, Wideman, and some decent drafting (or what appears to be at this point) has me feeling optimistic.

Cerevenka has been generally awful with a few spots of offensive flare. Despite all the BS excuses the guy has been a healthy scratch numerous times, shown 0 ability at playing defense, is constantly behind the play because of his lack of speed and can't play the position (which he admited himself he didn't play) that he was specifically brought in for.

Hudler has been okay but certainly nothing to build on and a secondary piece that is overpaid for a long time. Wideman is an absolute disaster in his own end and slowed down offensively. He is poor value for his deal right now and it only is getting worse as he ages.

If an example of their stats and methodology it appears to be at best very poor and likely a complete disaster.

Sorry if I missed the obvious green text but that was a long post for it to be sarcastic (though it would make a lot of sense if it were.)
