They had Artemi Panarin. If they had to move an extra couple million here or there in two years, they should’ve done that. They should’ve figured it out.
But they didn’t, and now none of the people involved in that decision remain with the organization.
To whit… ‘lawl’.

But it also proves how rebuilding is not linear and not always linked to making the best move every time. How many Stanley Cup winnners have a laundry list of bad moves? All of them.
But ultimately there's a lot of luck and poor performance involved in Stanley Cups in the cap era. So if they make a good decision and keep Panarin, maybe they're slightly better than they are now and don't end up drafting a generational talent?
