Could’ve even traded Varlamov, signed a cheap backup and upgraded the middle 6

Your team went to back to back conference finals and lost to one of the best teams of the 21st century each time... Lou has made mistakes but CHILL.

The Toews trade looks awful in hindsight, but at the time I saw it as more of a slick move by Sakic taking advantage of a tough NYI cap situation. It's also just random luck for the Avs that Toews has just kept on getting better and better. Keep in mind he also plays next to Makar. Good as Toews is, Makar sure as heck makes life easier for him.

I haven't seen Mayfield play this season, but his contract based on his play the previous two seasons was absolutely sensational value. Eberle makes a big difference in the regular season though.

Worth bearing in mind that NYI only had one year of team control with Toews. He may have insisted on only signing a long-term deal with Colorado if traded and only one year deals to take him straight to UFA with other clubs, so other GM's may not have been so amenable to paying 2 2nd's at the time. I'm just speculating here of course, but my point is that there are realities in these trades that we as fans aren't always privy to that can affect trade value.

Totally possible. Maybe he knew the Isles had to let the dominoes fall and they couldn't offer him a top 4 worthy contract. At the end of the day you just have to make those 2nd round selections, and the cap space you free up, count.

Lou is one of the best GMs in history. He’s the main reason the isles weren’t horrid after Tavares left

Could of traded Komarov and Hickey in separate deals attached bellows and 2nd for those trades.
Could of traded Leddy with the 2018 first round pick
Towes was surely worth giving up a first but no got Palmieri instead
There were ways out of that situation
