I don't think I've been a "hater" at all. If anything, I overestimated how good we'd be this year.

I think we got lucky to get such a good return because other than Calgary being desperate we probably don't get anything close from another team.

Clubs are desperate to make the playoffs now and go on a run. Cammy has been great in the postseason and his contract is over after next year. It may be a little pricey sure, but we could've absorbed a contract on the return as long as it came with a 1st. No reason that we couldn't have gone after this. And there was NO reason to do it in such a hurry.

Yeah right, a 34 year old over the hill defenseman with a three year contract is worth twice what Cammy is. This, in spite of the fact that Cammy's contract is shorter and he's 29 years old.
Once again, good work.

If I haven't defended many of the club's moves well... it's because we haven't made too many that were worth defending.
Unlike yourself, I understood that getting Gomez, Cammy and Gionta was poison in the first place. I understood that it made no sense to let our core walk for nothing only to replace them with MORE mediocre forwards and higher paychecks. I understood that getting Kaberle was a waste of time... That doesn't make me a hater, it just makes me smarter than you are.
We are sitting in 2nd to last in the East right now. I've been arguing against the quick fix moves we've been making, you've been defending them. Who's right here?
I've argued that we should rebuild with top picks and trading for prospects. Our top pick is our best player. Our two rebuilding moves yielded us Gorges, MaxPac and Eller. It sure seems like my philosophy is working out better for us than yours is.
