Still boggles my mind how Minnesota not only lost Haula in the Vegas Expansion Draft but also Tuch . Fletcher screwed that up so bad.
Though this is the same dude who gave us a serviceable Dman and a better defender then the one we gave them and he gave us a 1st pick for Risto on top of it!

God bless you Chuck.

Now that I think about it in a way he was kinda responsible for us getting Tuch as well since he botched that draft and gifted him to Vegas.

He's also responsible for UPL in a way since he traded so many 2nd round draft picks to Buffalo over the years one of them had to turn into something. (The Karabachek pick and the one used to acquire Gorges not forgotten.)

Who did it worse?

The Florida Panthers traded Reilly Smith in exchange for Vegas selecting Jonathan Marchessault and a fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.[15]
The Minnesota Wild traded Alex Tuch in exchange for Vegas selecting Erik Haula and a conditional third-round pick in the 2017 or 2018 NHL Entry Draft.[21]
The Columbus Blue Jackets traded their first-round pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and David Clarkson in exchange for Vegas selecting William Karlsson.[22]

Panthers . Vegas got 2 players who contributed greatly to their inaugural success. Tuch did have a decent rookie season with them. Even contributed close to 40 points but its definitely the Panthers

Easy answer is Florida but having wild Bill as basically their 1C to start off comes to mind...

Someone from the outside who some expect to come here and be captain because we our leaders here are even worse.

(like a Craig Rivet)

I kinda see what you’re saying, but Ott was at the end of his career and was here for the start of the tank while Tuch is still relatively young and theoretically should be a contributing piece when we start to get good. I know you said a younger Steve Ott but still, the cupboards are nowhere near as bare as they were back then. Our best prospects were Grigorenko, Risto, Girgs, and Zadorov and there wasn’t much to be excited about on the roster.
 
Insane combo of size , speed and hands signed to a very decent contract. Hes also young.

He has awesome value for any team in the league , rebuilding teams or playoffs team at maturity.

Very nice player to have
