"He could have traded Walman for another good young player." No, apparently he couldn't have. Unless you're actually suggesting a single team in the league was offering that and he turned it down so he could give up a 2nd.
You can criticize the move and deservedly so, but this statement is just ignorant.
"He could have traded Hronek for another good young player." Uhh he kinda did? They got a pick, swung for the fences, and currently are looking like they hit a home run.
"He did trade picks for Debrincat. Hasn't had the impact of Miller and McDonagh." Funny how your narrative was "He could've gotten other good young players out of Walman and Hronek", but in a situation where he swapped out Bertuzzi for Debrincat, your narrative suddenly changed to "Well he hasn't had the impact of Miller and McDonagh."
And by the way, yes, Debrincat has had a bigger impact in Detroit than Miller did in Tampa. Miller didn't truly breakout until he went to Vancouver.
