Well that's another piece that has left Ottawa from the Matt Duchene trade.
Ultimately, we gave up roughly the same amount of assets/futures that year as Toronto has at the past 2 trade deadlines, and at least we actually won a series.

Assuming Abramov (KHL now) and Davidsson (SHL now) would have had similar paths here, the Jackets gave up a 2019 1st round pick (used on Dman Lassi Thomson - who knows what Jarmo & co. would have done) for a couple months of Matt Duchene.
In hindsight, not so bad. But also in hindsight...they gave up Duclair and two 2nd rounders for Dzingel instead of offering that package for Mark Stone! Ottawa parted with Stone and a contract throw-in for Oscar Lindberg (out of the league by the 2019-2020 season), Erik Brannstrom, and a 2020 2nd round pick. Imagine the 2019 playoff team with Mark Stone and Anthony Duclair still on the roster (or even just Stone in place of Dzingel). Instead, we watched them rotate healthy scratches between Alex Wennberg and Ryan Dzingel.
We don't know for sure, but Jarmo could have offered something for Stone and they turned it down. We did trade our better prospects for Duchene. They may have wanted another 1st from us instead. Maybe they asked for Texier in a Stone trade

We also let William Karlsson go to keep Josh Anderson. It seems all too easy to overvalue your own picks.Oh no, not the guy who has 29 points in 87 career games!

Well we all know it’s what happens after a player is gone rather than before that determines whether something was a good idea or not.

That works for posters, too. I miss tulip.

I don't think you can conflate not trading for Stone into that. For example, that player may not have been there for an in-conference opponent to trade for.
Jarmo was quoted somewhere, I do not remember exactly where, as saying that he could have obtained Stone if he was willing to include Bemstrum in the package and he said no.
