The life of a franchise doesn’t start when a gm changes. It’s a continuum. What the previous regimes do impacts the future regimes

I never claimed it started new with a new GM, I'm saying more than enough was done to eliminate that deficit by people after Sutter. I literally showed that if Treliving hadn't traded so many picks, there would have easily been a surplus. Treliving eliminated and draft pick deficit and then created a new one, albeit a very small one because he's supplemented the loss of picks with adding NCAA and European free agents.
