As it stands, we have no draft pick in the first round. All for a trade that was questionable the day it was made.
I'm personally fed up with this organization botching first round after first round of the draft and expecting to go far.

Kinda lost me with that bolded part. Arguably the organization's first round draft picks have been top notch in the last 8 years or so. You have to go back to 2009 for a complete dud.
The team is young and I wish Gulutzan was getting more out of it. With the roster we have, we deserve better hockey. And given what is developing at the farm, I think the hamonic trade for picks was a worthwhile gamble by Tre.
