Yes seems like he passed on certain players that would have had greater trade value, and then got poor return on some of his tardes.

Meanwhile he takes a player from Flames he could have otherwise had for free. Wouldn't a guy like Stajan have had at least some value?

There were certainly a lot of moving parts and I guess ultimately sucking and accruing draft picks is the best strategy. But then I think he could have ended up with better picks in some cases.
