Why are we acting like that's a "Hextall fail"? The Senators picks are going to end up higher than the Penguins picks. The Penguins could have offered the same exact deal, but Arizona would be right for taking the Senators picks.

LOL.

I'll wait until the deadline passes to judge Hextall, but unless he's got other irons in the fire, this feels like a massive missed opportunity for the short-term and long-term. Chychrun easily could have slid into the top four now and replaced Dumoulin for next year.

There is only one 1st round pick in there. Pens could and should have offered two.

Hextall has done nothing all year. Bizarre for a team whose mandate is to be all in the next couple years.

With the way the teams are trending, are they? Maybe this year's, but Ottawa's a team on the rise and Pittsburgh's on the decline. By next year our picks might actually be higher.

I’m sure our offers probably had stupid ass salaries going back with it. I would guess that’s why the Coyotes went a different direction if we were even close.

You can't say we could have beat that.

There's a lot of factors to go to these. Am I upset that we didn't grab him Absolutely, but those picks are better than what our picks would offer.

It's not apples the apples.
