We keep hearing how hard it is to acquire top players, but I just listed a bunch that somehow moved.

He himself brought some, but he seems to like his defensemen. Nothing major at forward.

Well, not all of those players fit the description (Toffoli ain’t big). But listing a bunch of players who moved doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. Two of the players were moved for each other, so that’s one transaction down (and it would have cost Tkachuk or Gaudreau), Stone was impossible, Kane had huge issues, and the rest aside from ROR at the time seemed like overpays.
