Actually all I really care about is never seeing an NHL commercial with some clown screaming release the Kraken 5+ times a game. No one cares.

Bit of both TBH. GMs realized that trading big assets to protect people was foolish, and Seattle also royally messed up.
Seattle refused to take bad contracts, and that is what killed them. Pretty sure there was a rumor that St Louis was willing to add a sweetener if they would have taken Tarasenko - didn’t do that.
They should have been the team completing the trade for Gostisbhere - but nope Arizona picked up those extra assets.
They overvalued their own cap space to go try to make Hail Mary moves in UFA.
And in terms of getting teams to pay for protection…they messed that up too. If you could get Kylington and a 2nd to not take Gio…probably should have done that but rumor was they wanted at least a 1st and maybe more.
