You’re just scratching the surface. The mastermind genius in Vegas once traded Filip Forsberg for Martin Erat. The HHOF GM up North traded two seconds for Andreas Anthanasieu. Stan Bowman traded Panarin for Saad. Even the shrewd Chevy in WPG gave up a couple first round picks for pure rentals. Pretty sure if you go over to ‘WinnipegPuck’ you’ll find a long list of complaints over those deals. How about David Poile’s work? Doug Wilson? The list goes on and on.....
For the record, who ever replaces Treliving, when ever that is, will make bad deals too.
