We're trading away multiple rounds of picks to go for it. You think the expectation of results vs process is the same in those two organizations?

Yeah. I would feel a lot better about missing the playoffs this season if the team had their 1st and 2nd round picks back seeing there was no immediate payoff from having Hamonic on the team. I don't think a GM makes that trade in the mind of team building as this trade was done with immediate results in mind and that's why missing the playoffs this season is misery for the GM and fans.
