The OEL and Garland trade will definitely set this new regime back quite a bit. There's the OEL contract, giving up the 2nd in a deep draft when the prospect cupboards are bare, and then of course giving up the 1st that turned into Dylan Guenther who looks like he could become a star.
Didn't look like a good move then, doesn't look any better now.

Benning was so desparate to make the better this season, he didn't just bite the bullet on those bad cap for one season of Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel and start a fresh in 22/23.

I'm fully on board with the Garland / 9th & Loui aspect of the trade. Yeah, it's steep but it supplements the core. But just imagine having a 2nd rd pick AND 6mil of extra cap space this summer. That's where they could legitimately trade Miller AND take a bad contract back to maximize the value. Or do nothing and add a 2nd rd prospect. Or add the pick into a trade! Possibilities could have been endless.
