We are only a couple years removed from people saying that you could never win with an Ovechkin on your team.

Or you could never win with a Stamkos on your team.

Etc. etc. etc.

Trading a star player for underperforming in small sample sizes is so immensely silly. You build around star players, you don't trade them and try to replace them with lottery tickets and significantly worse players.

That's how you don't even get to the playoffs again for a decade. Just ask Edmonton.
