Even CC had his near miss, trying to sign Elias and Noah. That mistake failed because the other party backed out, not because of some realization on CC’s part.

This team will always be mid, and will never figure it out, and we just have to be happy with that. It’s better than no hockey team.
Trying to sign Elias is the near miss - but also I think setting his price and not being willing to budge on that is good asset management still. Lindholm pretty much commented that he knew he was going to get dealt from training camp, so don't think it was as close as rumours made it seem.

Signing Hanifin would have been fine...at this point I'd still rather have Hanifin than the return they got from Vegas for him.
