If Boedker walks, pretty bad asset management.

The Boedker trade was really puzzling for me. I really didn't see it from Colorado's POV at all. The team clearly needed top 4 defense and quality bottom 6 depth and they acquire a pending UFA 2nd line player when they are a bubble team? Just goes to show that former great players don't necessarily make great GMs. In fact, it seems like they rarely do.
