In retrospect, trading Johnny and Monny are their big years was the way to go. But who would have thought that was smart at the time?
There were plenty of people who wanted changes to the core after they completely crapped the bed against Colorado. The way in which they lost that series did not sit well, combined with the team’s lacklustre play down the stretch despite finishing 2nd overall.

To say that nobody could have seen this coming is total revisionist history. Plenty did and were dismissed as being Debbie Downers.
