funny thing is all of these moves were frowned upon except maybe the myers signing so there really isnt "hindsight is 2020"

Don't think can include Tanev and Elder in the conversation as they were UFAs. It just might be the in my opinion the untraceable 8m X 7 extension was a mistake.

Letting them walk when both would have signed extensions was the mistake.

Sorry, "letting them walk" just isn't true. Players have the option of wanting to remain or not, not just the teams.
