When you walk away with Landeskog, MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Makar over a 7 year period, you can afford to screw up the rest. Adding to that getting Toews from the Isles for cheap, grabbing Nuke after he looked like his career was flatlining in Dallas, and other players fitting in seemlessly - the Nelson trade gets a lot of hate, but the guy has 24 goals - then it looks easy.
