What we, the fans, now have to live with is a middle of the road team, somewhat slower than the rest, marginally talented, boring to watch on most nights and it isn't going to get better for a couple of years in my opinion. Unless a miracle happens.....

I don't think that is accurate. Tre said he still thinks the Hamonic trade was a good one (can't remember where, I think it was the end of season interview). I tend to agree, Hamonic is a good Dman on a good contract... in any case it is certainly debatable. And to that end, he didn't trade a 1st early or in the middle of a rebuild. The rebuild is done... 'don't make trades unless you are smarter than the person you are trading with'... that might be a joke but, basically the same as saying only make good trades, which isn't worth saying.
Edit: Except trading a 1st for Hamilton... but I don't think many people would argue against that trade.
