So many choices….all under Dorion’s watch. Unbelievable this guy wasn’t fired 3-4 seasons prior
Z-bad trade. Turris and Stone next, Tyler Boucher 10th pick is nearby.

Hard to pick just one!
It’s painful. We got so screwed by such a crazy man.
I’ll go with a three way tie. The first three.
For the poll though I went with his first trade. Zibanejad. Hard to top that one.

Can't say we had many dull moments during his watch! Well, maybe during the playoffs every season I guess
The Turris tree includes the 4th OA pick in 2019 (which became Bowen Byram)
But do not worry, Lassi Superman Thomson is going to save the day

Kyle Turris for me, not because we should have kept him, but because we could have traded him for Girard+ and kept 4th OA (Byram or Seider, given we were apparently really high on Seider)
Doing that likely means we don't trade Stone for Brannstrom (since we likely have two better D in the system from the Turris trade) so maybe Stone turns into something more useful too,

Throw in a heaping spoonful of suffering after trading Ceci and then Brown

The Boucher pick and the rest of the 2021 draft was one of the most blatant forms of narcissism I have ever seen.
Dorion and Mann were OBSESSED with drafting "under the radar" players to try to seem like the smartest guys in the room instead of simply going for the BPA.

There's so much to be gained by looking back at the old regime and focussing on the errors
Wait.. are you saying they .. scouted players .. instead of using a draft guide you found on the internet for free?

Weird how scouts for basically every other team didn't have Boucher and Roger ranked anywhere close to where we did.

Yeah who cares about wasting draft picks during a rebuild on a team that has trouble attracting free agents.

That regime is gone. Time to focus on the future.

Well I think the clear intent of the thread is to hang on to bitterness, mostly derived from Dorion's moves.
It's done. It's over. Serves no purpose.

We’re still dealing with the fallout. Probably for another 5-10 years. It’s not “over”.
The moves explain why we are and have been at the bottom of the standings for almost a decade and have such an uphill climb ahead of us.
The day we win the Stanley cup you can say it’s over.
Well then, you might still be attributing our issues to Melnyk and Dorion in the year 2050.

Every GM that takes over a team has to deal with what was left behind from his predecesor. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, usually a mix of both. Once The Pick is forfeited, then it's moving on time. The Pick is the icing on the cake of Dorion's reign.
