I guess you could say they messed up by alienating Jeff Petry.
I mean have you watched Luca Sbisa in this series? The other guys' GM just gave him a 10 million dollar contract. I can't think of anything MacTavish has done that's come close.

- $20 mil for Pouliot
- $9 mil for Purcell
- Failure to address terrible defence and goaltending
- Lack of ability to make any move that realistically improves their team long term (other than being bad enough to be gifted good players).
- Failure to break up the new boys club and rip the entitlement from the team
- Dallas Eakins
- Firing Kruger over Skype after he was the only coach in years that actualy showed improvement
- Continually hiring underqualified ex-teammates for jobs
- A general air of undeserved, unearned entitlement with contempt for anyone saying otherwise, including fans.
- A firm finger on the local media with obvious attempts to make it seem like they were doing the right things and that people were generally happy with the team, and banning those who spoke ill of management.
- Constantly deflecting blame away from himself, even though he is in charge.

I can't believe I have to convince someone that MacTavish is worse than Chiarelli. If his job was to be terrible and end up with a generational player because of it, he couldn't have been better. If his job was to build a winning team, its not even remotely f***ing close.
