Just have to say I just witnessed the worst single day for a sports franchise I have ever seen. The Lucic trade is good at face value (especially considering Zboril was a solid enough pick), but when you **** up 2 of your 3 1st rounders THAT badly, it's tough to swallow. That was like watching a comedy of errors. It just kept getting worse as the picks went along. Connor and Barzal there and you pass on both of them 3 times?!?!
I am absolutely terrified of what Sweeney and Neely are going to do next. Like, all bets are off the table. I could wake up tomorrow and find that Bergeron and Rask were shipped out for a ****load of picks that they'd in turn use to take players that are huge reaches, and then Campbell and Paille will be resigned to 5 year contracts; that's the level of unease I feel about this management group right now.
