Extending Gustafsson who isn't old and can help their offence at D justifies the 3rd IMO. I didn't mind that move. And if Neal draws back in for enough games...

They could've done a lot worse in terms of spending assets. It didn't gut them.

Maybe they can move one of the UFA dmen for a pick for early negotiation rights, like what the Flames did for Wideman.
Those moves can be defended in isolation, I agree. It’s the totality over the years of resorting to using your draft picks as currency to trade for middle or bottom of the roster players.
