I am a little upset at that Bouwmeester was traded just as we found a coach that has him playing the way we have always wanted him to.
I am a bit more upset that we traded away our #1D for some relatively unknown assets and a conditional late first round pick.
I am actually angry that in two "block buster" trades we have yet to acquire a single prospect that plays center. Considering how big of an organizational need it is to fill that position, I am not a huge fan of gambling on filling that spot soley through the draft.
Landing Mackinnon (or Barkov) with our own first round draft pick is becoming that much more important. I would actually say that we should focus on impact centers/forwards with our first two picks (or maybe all of our first rounders).
