Darche With Worst Trade Since Kvasha-Parrish/Luongo. Cutting budget?

Nothing against the kids they drafted, good prospects in a weak draft. You don't trade a 70 point skating defender at age 25 for a bottom six player who was traded twice already. It's that bad a decision, they had a year to move Dobson, he's an RFA who could elect arbitration. They did not have a scoring defender like that since Potvin. Clearly Montreal loved him, and fleeced Darche. I want Nick Suzuki in a Dobson trade, not the bottom six forward. It feels like cost cutting. Darche, keeping Roy, and not paying another coach who clearly struggled under Roy both seasons. It's a disappointing day, you keep Dobson, and not give him a contract extension now. No indication he wanted out or was

unhappy here. You get rid of ping pong, never sign Palmieri to lose Dobson for this. Just horrific, and it's Kvasha trade revisited. Dobson is 25, you never trade that offensive potential at his age, and keep the expensive coach they brought back who deserved a pink slip for the teams record. Lane Lambert by far did better with Dobson. Dobson had his say.
