Like others have said its just disheartening and exhausting to keep having the same roundabout conversations after our GM decides to do something unconventional/risky.
- Lev over Demidov
- playing Korchinski in the NHL way too early
- giving up value to trade up in the 2024 draft before even knowing what players were going to fall
- This trade
Even smaller things like Boisvert in general, somehow not finding a skill winger for Bedard in 3 first rounds since 2023, not getting anything at the TDL for Donato when Beauvillier went for a 2nd, missing out on small, low risk deals for players like Zegras/Chinakov/Samoskevich
KD has his own vision and he's way too reckless and tunnel visioned in his pursuit of it. He overvalues his own prospects. He made comments last year that "you can't win with players like Ehlers and Marner". The arrogance is just unearned and unproven, and I think its possible he's just going to keep bleeding assets and value everywhere until its too late
