A lot of NHL GM's gave RF the 1 finger salute. It will be great when Seattle has tons of cap room while other franchises blow and he takes away their Star playersColumbus had to add a 6th round pick and retain salary to Domi and only received a fairly pedestrian return in the prospect Hreshuk. Not to mention, Domi would have cost Seattle 6 million in actually salary. Passing On Domi was a pretty smart move, imo.
Ghost actually cost Philly a 2nd and a 7th to dump after expansion. With the Covid cap issues, the entire market was flat. Most players that had value that were going to be exposed, where flipped before the draft.
Everyone is still claiming Francis screwed up, but the truth is that there really was no market.
Duchene was looking terrible and the last few years no one except God would have taken that contract and have it blow up in Seattle's faceThat's because it's all about narrative and how to make yourself feel better by trying to laugh at others.
I mean, I've heard so much shit about that and it seems lilke there's always a new guy being thrown in their as the flavor of the month.
Last I heard people critisizing Francis for not taking Matt Duchene of Nashville even though absolutley no one was touching that contract at the time the expansion draft was actually held.
