For years, this organization has been ultra short term in its thinking. Afraid to take a step back before taking two forward. Trading picks for mediocre players. Only ever acquiring picks when we are totally out of it.

This team is not keeping Gaudreau and Tkachuk in two years time. Taking a swing at an elite C is worth gutting out the next few months.

Agreed.
