^ I agree with this. Even if you are committed to rebuilding, you still have to have some kind of balance, some investment in short term players that can give the fans something to cheer for in parallel to just watching the development of the prospects and young players. The way they moved on from Doan was quite inelegant, as there is really no replacement as face of the franchise, and say what you will about Doan but he had an identity.
I guess in some kind of defense of Chayka as a person, the Domingue trade may have been accommodating a request from Domingue, because it sure wasn't a result of targeting Leighton.
