Currently it's not firing anyone and pretending all is well after posting the worst season in the NHL in about two decades.

Not signing Messier in 97. Trading Leetch. More recently, not signing Stralman, not finding a way to keep Hagelin.
Not my team, but watching these playoffs so far has me wondering how in hell Erat was traded for Forsberg
From the old regime, David Clarkson. It's as if they did not scout him properly and got suckered into an emotional decision.
The decision to trade for Bernier was pretty bad. Disclaimer: He's an okay goalie and he played decently for Carlyle, but he was not really a clear upgrade on Reimer. Leafs lost an asset addressing a position that did not need to get strengthened or did not see improvement. That second rounder should have been used on defense where the Leafs gave up an obscene amount of shots and possession.

Leaving out Jets 1.0.....I am not sure.
Lots of people really hated that we gave up assets to move up and draft Logan Stanley but that's still not a guaranteed bad move.
Actually, I guess not bringing back Stempniak. He said he really enjoyed playing in Winnipeg and wanted to re-sign. All we needed to do was offer a cheap contract and we would have had his services for another year. Instead, we let him walk and put up 41 points in 63 games with New Jersey.

On 22 February 2012, the Hurricanes signed Ruutu to a four-year contract extension worth $19 million. The deal will pay Ruutu $4 million in 2012–13 and $5 million per year in the remaining years; it also includes a no-trade clause for the first three years of the contract.
mind you; this was after a 34-point season.

I've been an Oilers fan since '06 and there isn't really a single decision that I've absolutely despised surprisingly but if I had to pick a few:
-Trading Pronger. Lowe should have just made Pronger suck it up and play his contract out in Edmonton.
-Trading Smyth because of a small gap in contract negotiations
-Signing Horcoff to an awful contract for 5.5M per
-Firing coach Kruger and hiring Eakins

That's on my list too as Bruins coach. But the Orr trade stands alone. Mike O'Connell as GM was a debacle too. (Realized you may be an Isles fan. You have my sympathy.)

Name one that's not Thornton, Seguin, Kessel, Hamilton..............**** me you guys traded away a 1st line
....Wheeler? haha
Aladyyn
they praying for the death of a rockstar
Jack Johnson and Oleg Capdumperdovsky for Tim Gleason and Eric Belanger.
One of the top prospects in hockey for a #4 defenseman at best and a crappy #3 center who got traded later that season.
Close second is Andrew Ladd for Tuomo Ruutu.

I started typing names ... I would have been here all night.
The Phil Kessel trade. He is a very good player and for me it's not about him, it's about the bigger picture of going for the quick fix over building a team. That trade effectively cost the Leafs almost a decade.
For pure ridiculousness, the Jeff Finger signing. If I recall correctly, his previous team (Colorado) thought he was so good, he got scratched for half of their playoff games. At least Clarkson was a NHL player. Ridiculous still applies to that signing too though.
