You are suggesting Chia should come here and start making major moves without even seeing the team play one game?
That is completely preposterous.
Completely agreed.

Technically Chia didn't fire all the scouts. MacT and Lowe were his scouts
I wonder if there's a chance we trade with San Jose. Their team is on 3 game streak but looked pretty bad up until this point and traded away their first round pick. Marleau wants out, the team is getting old. Might be time they start looking into a rebuild? McLellan knows their players and could help Chia in getting us some very useful players.
Burns and Wingels for RNH and Schultz?

Better throw in Nikitin to sweeten the deal.
Nonsense. We have a high pick maybe even first overall in what looks like a good draft at the top end. We have a top ten scorer in the league in Taylor Hall. We've got some other good pieces to add as well, Nurse, Drai, EB's, Nuge, Klefbom etc.
Don't give me this **** that we don't have the pieces to make a big move. We do.
We need to find a situation that allows us to utilize them to get the player we need. Those do happen and we absolutely need to be ready when it does.
IMO the only trade that would make sense would be an older player for a 1st. But I don't think SJ does that. If anything they would trade a prospect for a player, IMO and then trade Burns/Marleau (maybe) in the offseason.
I just don't see how you drop players when you're in the wildcard race
