Would any of you undo the Romanov trade ?

I wouldn't undo it. Worth the risk and who knows, it could still pan out.
And for all we know, keeping Romanov would have made the Habs finish a couple spots higher in the standings and we lose out on Demidov.
I'm fine with how things ended up.

Indeed.

Kinda like if I could go back in time and be an early investor in {insert any number of companies} instead of putting a downpayment on my first house.

Unfortunately, time and decision making doesn't work that way.

At the time, it was a good decision. Hindsight doesn't change anything about that.

When your talking an about hypotheticals, then yes, you can obviously take the information you now have. We can confirm it’s a bad trade, and if we can go back in time ( still hypothetically) we would 100% undo that trade.

If you could go back in time and invest in Apple, you would. Your not gonna say, “well since I at the time it was a quality risk, and I’m aware of how it turned out, I still wouldn’t do it”

Nobody is arguing the risk or if at the time it was a correct move to jump on the risk. We are arguing if now, knowing what you know, you would undo it. And the answer is obvious unless your doing the mental gymnastics that your post tried to do.

But McFly, the Flux capacitator won't be invented for another decade, what do we do until then :dunno:

Joking aside, the trade remains a good decision that had a bad outcome imo.

Obviously going back in time to get better outcomes is preferable to sticking with bad outcomes, buy that's a pointless exercise, as Marty found out in the sequels. Keep Romanov only for him to break his leg and retire while Kirby stays healthy and becomes a top 5 C for the Hawks would just keep you bouncing round in back to the future sequels for ever.

Good decisions then, nothing that has transpired has shifted that reality.

At the time of the trade it was understandable, if a little expensive. 13th overall is too rich for someone Chicago was willing to give up. They would rather start over with another prospect than try to salvage the former 3rd overall pick. I would definitely undo everything. We need a good top-4 D as bad as we need 2C.
I've given up on Dach. Before the season started a lot of writers said he'd had freak injuries, but the truth is he'll always be injury-prone. Useless man's version of Sean Monahan. Before his last two serious injuries, he was on a pace of 53 points. That's definitely better than what we've seen this year, but overall, those sorts of numbers were impressive back in 2014-2015.

Still, I'd extend his contract for a very reasonable price and lowered expectations.
 
Nah, it was a calculated move at the time with the redundancy of Romanov. Just puy Dach on wing where he thrived with Demidov and Suzuki as center and move the other 2 with another high-end quality center. I would however not mind undoing a parcel of land purchased that was suppose to be high in minerla deposits that has yet come to fruition,got a bit wet on that one so far.lol
