Quoting: Bflo_Soldier
You mean the guy that built a team that won 3 cups in 6 years and returned an original 6 franchise to not only relevance but one of the most valuable teams and best brands in hockey?
Dale Tallon brought in most of the players that won the first cups. He drafted Toews, Kane, Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson, Byfuglien, Brouwer, Bolland, Bickell and Crawford. He traded for Sharp, Ladd, Versteeg. He signed Hossa, Campbell, Kopecky, Madden, and Niemi. While Stan made some moves that were able to help the subsequent cups, such as drafting Saad and Shaw, signing Oduya, and trading for Leddy, Handzus, and Vermette, his more recent moves have been more controversial and seem to have destroyed the Hawks future. All of the Hawks 1st round picks from 2011-2016 have been traded away, which included Teravainen, Hartman, Schmaltz, and Danault. He traded away Panarin, Hinostroza, Teravainen, Danault, Leddy, and Saad in losing deals. Overall, while he's made many mistakes, I think people don't give him enough credit for what he did but are fair in placing some blame on him for the current state of the Hawks.
