Tampa's made some good trades too. I mean Conacher for freaking Bishop. And them MSL for a couple firsts (?)

I don't blame them for being buyers at all... they had a good chance at the playoffs.
Also some overpayments too:
Coburn for Gudas + 1st + 3rd
Lindback + 7th for 2nd +2nd + 3rd
Just because a team has a chance to sneak into the playoffs as an 8th seed in a given year, does not in and of itself justify trading future assets for rentals at the trade deadline.
That Coburn trade didn't look bad back then to be honest, and Coburn is still a top four defender.
I'd love him as a partner for Barrie personally.
Wasn't Lindback part of bringing in goalies with upside, as they didn't have much there at the time. Bishop just ended up being the one to pan out.
They needed those trades badly at the time and were proactive in the market. They ended up getting a first round pick out of Downie, by then flipping Quincey from us to Detroit as well.
The only major mistake I can come up with for them is Carle, holy geez I'm glad we dodged that bullet. A lot of people here wanted him.
Well anyways at least they are addressing some needed changes with Compher, Greer, Meloche and others coming into SA soon. Maybe...just maybe there is hope for Siemens, he's still only like 12 right?

I don't think Roy will change his mind about players the previous regime drafted. He's been playing corpses like Guenin and Bodnarchuk rather than giving Siemens a chance.
Hopefully Siemens is traded so he at least gets a fair chance somewhere else.
Roy did mention Siemens at one point when talking about or young D, so it's not a forgone conclusion that hes trash in their minds yet.
I've still got a tiny glimmer of hope, but no I'm not optimistic.

Roy also said Gormley could be a top four defender for Avs and Everberg could be one of the best third liners in the league. I don't really take much of what he says serious anymore. In this case, actions speak louder than words and Siemens was something like 11th-12th on the depth chart this season. On a team with stinky D.
We will just disagree there. Extra revenue and experience would have been a damn good thing for this team and well worth the price.
