Yes, they could also have discussed a larger trade in which the Bs would have gotten Gaudreau, Baertschi, and the 6th pick in exchange for Seguin, Peverly, and something else.
I've seen Lindholm play a couple of times (including the horrible 2-1 shootout loss in Raleigh last year--and if that game wasn't enough to want to have Clode fired nothing will--1 shot on goal the 1st period). He looks like a decent player--16 goals last year--but can't see why he was projected so high.
I wanted Seth Jones big time and could see trading Seguin for him--elite talent for elite talent--and Harry always tried to build the team around great Dmen.
And again, I think that Chia's horrible drafting record was a big motivator in trading Seguin for several lessor players, which always a BAD idea.
I still consider that the worse game I've ever seen 2 NHL teams play, and Carolina was much better than Boston.
So how, exactly, is the coach to blame for a team that executes at such an incompetent level?
