Oddly the only years he was not a buyer at the deadline was when he had the 2nd best team in the NHL, 2016 and when he smartly sold at the 2015 deadline when he had Feaster’s bubble team that went to the second round.

Yeah, last years deadline was definitely a mistake. It definitely would have been better to recoup a pick for either Brodie or Hamonic, and buying depth was a waste of picks.
I'd love to see us start being on the other side of those trades, where our 6/7 D get traded for a 3rd every year at the deadline. Replacement players are replaceable, but if you make a bunch of extra picks you'll hit the odd sleeper star.
