from Ian Mendes of The Athletic,

The previous regime constantly made bold moves to try and push this team into the playoffs. Pierre Dorion routinely traded away first-round picks, making splashy, aggressive win-now moves. In many ways, he was reactionary, impulsive and emotional in the general manager’s seat.

This current iteration of management has the luxury of behaving in the opposite manner heading into the trade deadline.

They have the benefit of being cold, calculated and deliberate in their actions.

But when they look through that lens, they should see the same picture that angry, emotional Ottawa fans see.

Because no matter what perspective you’re looking at — big picture or small — this team has been utterly disappointing.
