Just remind this to yourself:
Hoffman netted the Sharks a 2nd, a 4th and a 5th.
Hoffman netted the Sens Boedker, Bergman and a 5th.
Skinner netted the Canes a 2nd and a 3rd.
Pacioretty, coming off a terrible season, netted us Nick Suzuki, a 2nd round pick and Tomas Tatar, who while not all that great, is just removed from netting a 1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick at TDD.
I hate Bergevin with passion and wanted Pacioretty gone, but anyone who was expecting any more than that for Pacioretty is out to lunch. There's no way we could have got much more.
FFS. People were asking for Robert Thomas or Kyrou from STL at last TDD. Blues fans wanted no part of that, and we ended up getting Suzuki, a better prospect than both, a 2nd and a serviceable guy like Tatar.
I just can't complain in the context of a rebuild.
