I'm going to assume you loved the Chayka era. Sure constant floundering and no future in sight but hey also no picks or real prospects!!!
Yes and no. He did get some incredible times, frick it was great to be a Yotes fan. The Hockey News highly ranked our prospects, had a lot of positive press of a new kind of GM based on analytics, had an incredible season and then one of the best days!!! Out of no where we traded for Hall. The Yotes actually had respect and the potential to have a very good year.
Then the wheels fell off. Hall didn't work and Chayka did some very stupid things. Back to earth we fell. When we traded for Hall almost everyone was so incredibly happy. For a moment in time.
Hall didn't work out but we didn't give up much. Bahl is an ok Dman. Can anyone find the Hall trade thread? Would love to read the first 20 pages again.
