As for the list. In just a few short years, that’s a laundry list of mistakes that speaks to a bigger problem which is trust. Can you trust the scouts to make the right decisions when they’re not doing their job properly. You might think that these are small mistakes, but there’s a lot of salary right now tied up to inefficient and ineffective players. There has to be a certain standard that should be met for all parts of the organization and personally, I don’t think they’ve up to par.
Thank goodness Treliving has done a great job of re-signing guys to very palatable deals. Also, the amateur scouts are doing a terrific job relatively speaking. They’ve done outstanding work and are in my opinion, one of the biggest reasons as to why this team is sitting where it’s at currently.
There’s no need to bemoan any of those moves. But we traded an NHLer for a career minor leaguer, that’s a strike. Granlund currently has more goals and points than any one of Ryan, Czarnik or Neal and at a very reasonable cap hit. Also, if we still had Sven Baertschi, we probably wouldn’t have Neal and his potentially albatross contract. Paul Byron speaks for itself. Rasmus was a great pick no doubt. But like I said, our amateur scouts do good work. No problem with them.

It's not pure garbage, it's what you were saying. Go look at your own post about shooters. Or were you only decrying shooters who you don't like?
If you had Sven you wouldn't have Rasmus. And Sven would be in the AHL. Granlund has more points because he's on a weak team with no one ahead of him. I'd trade him for Czarnik, but not Neal or Ryan. And the "career minor leaguer" had barely been in the league. Did it turn out well? Nah. But the point is that every team has these. Look at Vancouver if you like. Look at their UFAs and trades. Look at TB (which you ignored). Look at the cup winners.
