Never liked that narrative. its been used for almost 2 decades now to argue against trades that could improve the team. Feel like it obfuscated the real issue around that trade which was "did we really need to add another top 4 defender" when the team probably could have used a top 6 forward instead.
As for the room. The org exposed the long time captain to expansion draft, the UFAs and trade acquisitions have been part of orgs like TB and Colorado and Florida that have been equally ruthless.
