I’m also on the fence on the whole “actions” thing. Like, sorta. They traded some guys. Could they have done more? Yes. Did they do nothing? No. Would a half approach ever have worked? No, not IMO.
I know that AaronGavey guy will now chime in and say it’s been the greatest rebuild ever conducted but the problem is nobody believes him and he never provides back up / data to explain why.
It’s pretty clear holding onto Ras was a mistake. It was actually quite obvious as well at the trade deadline. I’m not that smart and these things seem strategically quite obvious. I think what a lot of people are missing is the greed factor. Playoff revenue is too tasty.

Re: Rasmus current trade value. Definitely in decline:
- Less contract to play with. Last TDL you had 2 playoff runs of rasmus and room to convince him to sign. This year he's a pure rental unless you trade with a contract signing (limiting your market to places he wants to extend.)
- Retention is less valuable because of contract length
- His play has been dog #### (playing 'well' -disagree- on the worst team in the league is basically meaningless)
- There are other RD on the market now where there were less before
I would make a strong bet with Jiri or TOFan that we will not get a 1st for Rasmus.
