All in two weeks
"Got rid of two bad contracts"
Traded a 1st round pick and a 40 points winger for nothing.
Traded a 4th defensemen for a 5th defensemen. The 5th defensemen makes more than the 4th defensemen.
Traded a middle 6 winger in that trade ^
"Improved Defence right side"
Right Hand side did improve, but it's lateral since Gardiner is gone. The D-core as a whole is worse than last year.
"Traded two prospects, one was average, Rosen was not trusted by babcock"
Traded two prospect while not making the team better than last year.
"Had a really good draft"
That's bias since none of the players have played NHL games yet.
"colorado retained on barrie"
That means nothing considering it's for one year and Barrie will walk next season.
"got kerfoot back somehow"
Dubas definitely won this trade, not going to argue that.
"Still has borgman, sandin, robertson, liljegren as D prospects"
You're gonna need them all to pan out considering only Rielly is signed beyond next season.
Sandin and Liljegren are the only notables there. The others are just prospect depth.
"Good Fwd prospect group too"
Not compared to when he took reign. He has nothing to show for it.
Traded a 4th defensemen for a 5th defensemen at best.
