Yeah, Tampa doesn’t win these cups without Hedman. He’s a top-3 defenceman in the league.
Brad got two 2nd for a 4th overall pick who has become a 2nd line centre for one of the best teams in the league because we mis-used him and destroyed his value. Yzerman in comparison, traded Jonathan Drouin for Sergachev before Drouin’s value dropped.
You have to build the foundation of your team through the top of the draft, and then you need to be one of the best drafting and managed teams in the league on top of that foundation.
