I truly believed "experience" is a tad overrated, but if there is one area where it is crucial... it is trades.
I have faith in Shanahan, Pridham, Dubas and Hunter. They are smart hockey minds, and talent evaluators. However I don't think they have the NHL experience to be pulling off big trades right now.
Can someone explain to me why this dead had to happen today? It seems Pittsburgh was big into Kessel. I don't see why management could not have waited a few days for the market to sort itself out?
I just think that a person with prior NHL management experience would have been able to know whether the Leafs could afford to hand back and wait a bit.
For all this talk of patience, the Leafs crew traded Kessel literally the first day it was possible.
Before we trade anyone else, please I want a GM!
