Yes. If the nino for clutterbuck deal was the only example of bad trades made in the past then it wouldn't be so bad but this is the guy who gave up Moulson and a first for Vanek, gave horrible contracts out and given away other good players. Now that the isles are actually doing really well, I think he might be persuaded to make a deal for a guy like Glencross because he just might "push them over the top" or something like that.
A GM in a tight spot fighting for his job will make questionable moves but so will a GM who thinks he's almost won the cup and only needs a piece or two.
