Are they...or did the unintentionally suck their way into some early picks?
They've wanted to be a playoff team, they didn't plan to draft top 5 and get any of Fantilli, Johnson, or Jiricek.
The only real great move they made was that Chicago lost their mind and gave one of the biggest overpayments in a trade ever to acquire Seth Jones.
Provorov trade...don't love it.
Gudbranson signing...barf.
Moving Bjorkstrand for nothing...bad move.
Merzlikins contract....doesn't look great.
They are unintentionally sucking their way into building a good young core, but not sure they get a ton of credit for that.
