I for one have no problem acquiring both Forbort and Gustaffson. I think both are reasonable pickups and have decent chances of overperforming their acquisition costs.
My personal problem is that we didn't go ahead and trade brodie when the market was going gangbusters and management clearly knows this team isn't a competitor. Brodie gets us a 1st+ today easy. Poor asset management for unclear reasons- maybe to save face and try and push for a playoff spot? Just seems like double talk- they clearly know the roster isn't worth upgrading at this point with what was available, and Brodie isn't likely to re-sign, so why the F would you hold on to him...
