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

Related Topics: Roberto Luongo

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.
