Well, I must be stupid, because here’s the process I would have thought every professional GM would have followed in order to make a trade:
1. Write down on a piece of paper all the players on my team I think I might be interested in trading away, with their positions listed alongside their names.
2. Make a list of all of the teams I thought might be interested in filling those positions mentioned in #1.
3. Call all of the teams listed in #2 about the players mentioned in #1.
Obviously, Pierre Dorion didn’t call Bob Murray or Kyle Dubas, among others, about Dylan DeMelo. If he did, all of the GM’s he called should be fired.
Dorion has made bad trades before so I think its him honestly

1000% agree here. DeMelo should have fetched more than any of the recent D trades. Chevy is one the smartest GMs but this value evaluation by Dorion was horrible at best.
I wonder what @MisstheWhalers and @tsyls think of this trade. Should be extremely happy considering some of the prices paid for players today.
God I’m so glad we didn’t get in on Scandella or Dillon. We needed a guy exactly like DeMelo. We needed a RD and we got it for a cheap price. I love this trade, Chevy once again makes a big move.

I'm happy for you guys, Jets needed this kind of good news after losing the D and in the way that they did.
As a Leafs fan I'm sad the Leafs weren't even in on discussions. Wouldn't be shocked if Dorion didn't shop around...because that's such an Ottawa thing to do.

I wanna say sorry to you and all Jets fans for saying I hate you.
I dont.

Are you still glad they didn't acquire dillion..... oh wait, never mind.
