So you are telling me trading, let's say, a 3rd round pick for a solid blueliner who can help a team that was 4th OVERALL in the NHL at the time would be too much, or mortaging the future?
And this was after fetching a 2nd rounder for a 3rd string goaltender, Regier could not turn around a deal a 3rd for a steady D guy? I guess that is throwing away the future, did not realize that
It is not like I was dreaming of a guy like Lidstrom, even a guy like Carney would have been great, and yes I do agree with you about the realities of Darcy's job
