And in several cases, the picks he sold for players were the same ones he picked up for the said pending UFAs.

Stone, Lindholm, Hanifin? Stone was a bad trade and worse signing/buyout.
Lindholm and Hanifin weren’t acquired for picks.
But yes I agree that if he was truly forced by ownership to trade picks for players, he didn’t a good job of getting value for his picks. And we’re lucky the fax jammed for the Zucker trade I guess.
