That move was just damning. No competent management team makes a move like that.

The technicality and that fallout was just icing on the cake.

We would have been watching us continue to flail while Colorado enjoyed Monahan or Lindholm on their roster for 7+ years.

Don't forget Feaster saw ROR as an elite center. Not sure how? He was also willing to pay him $6.5 million.
