Description

Which is the biggest mistake in Sens history - drafting Daigle over Pronger in 1993 or the sign-and-trade of Hossa for Heatley that ultimately alienated Chara (yes, I realize that there were other factors, but that was one of, if not the, biggest)? There have obviously been a ton of other bad decisions made by the org, but I think these have to be the two top contenders. Thoughts?
