He’s no different from other NHL GMs. This isn’t the 90s anymore. There are one or two mid-season impact trades a year in the NHL these days, in a 32 team league. Then a flurry of depth moves at the deadline. In today’s NHL, teams remake their rosters at the draft and UFA window. The roster that takes the ice on opening night is the same roster that cleans out their lockers on garbage bag day.

This thread, along with whole ecosphere of NHL trade rumours, is a testament to the triumph of hope in defiance of reality.
