All comes down to how it went down.
Was it Treliving saying now that we've made the Tkachuk trade I'd like to add Kadri and go for it! He's the guy.
Or was it Edwards saying who's out there to fill in the rest of our cap so we can go for it this year.

That is all true but I guess it is convenient that for Brad that is always an option, Murray made me do it. What if Brad said that Toffoli was too slow for the modern NHL and Murray said he wanted Toffoli because he is an elite shooter. That would make Murray smart in that scenario for that one player.
One would hope that the GM would have some ability to make his own moves rather than just listen to Murray when he wants to bring in Toffoli and Kadri. Because logically if Murray is the one saying bring in Kadri he has to be the one saying bring in Toffoli too.
Bottom line is this team is not good enough to compete for a Cup. They won’t be good enough next year to compete for a Cup. They do have pieces that could significantly accelerate the rebuilding process this summer. Hopefully they are smart enough to do that.
