Taking a look under the hood of that ####show exposed just how badly run that organization was/is. The longitudinal examination did not match the short-term success the team was experiencing, and when looking at futures does not paint a rosy picture. It's all about perspective.
Your perspective is "Look we don't know. You don't know. I don't know." about a situation that is very easy to distill and interpret. It may be beyond some people, but to others these situations are not difficult to understand as it is all about organizational measurables. I don't believe for a second that you don't understand this stuff. A futures trader with a predilection for tracking data, performance, and making inferences on given conditions? This is right in your wheelhouse. If you're not connecting the dots, that's maybe something to work on, because this is no different than evaluating the performance of a company and the CEO at the helm.

Actually a good futures trader very much puts data into piles of what he does and doesn't know.
But enough of the talking down ... "if you're not connecting the dots" may as well be replaced with "if you're not seeing it like I do, that's maybe something to work on".
We don't know what was offered by the Flames.
We don't know if the Flames even made an offer.
We don't know if Gaudreau was open to signing until the coming summer.
We don't know what he countered with if he had a counter.
We don't know if the Flames shopped him or not when they couldn't get a deal done.
We don't know what that market was and what offers were made if they did shop him.
Pretending to know any of those things isn't connecting the dots. It's jumping to a conclusion without any data.
Trader's that do that don't last very long.
