...wasting a 3rd and a 4th round pick on 17-20 games of bottom pair defencemen. That’s bad management.

Way too much negative emotion. This team had to push for the playoffs and made a move using one of their 2 3rds and a 4th to add guys that fill a need and a hole. It allows for Valimaki to be safely buried so they do not make him expansion draft eligible.
When your team is in a playoff push you add depth where it is required and Tre did so without trading a 1st or 2nd.
