I may not have all the details but I think Chiarelli's most notable deals go like this ...
Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson (Hall goes on to win MVP)
1st and 2nd rounders for Griffin Reinhart at the draft (1st rounder immediately becomes Mathew Barzal who wins rookie of the year, Reinhart plays a handful of games and is no longer with the team)
Jordan Eberle for Ryan Strome
Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner
Ryan Spooner on waivers.
So Hall, Barzal, Eberle and a 2nd rounder (used to get Anthony Beavillier) straight up for Adam Larsson. That's a solid first line for most NHL teams. There's your missing skill. Eighty six goals and one hundred and fifty one assists in 2017-2018. And Larsson has not become the #1 d-man he was projected to be. You'd be lucky to get the 2nd rounder back for Larsson right now. If you did then the final tally would be Hall, Barzal and Eberle for nothing. Nuh. Thing.
So how does Chiarelli still have a job?? I don't understand it one bit. I'd bet most members of this trading card board could have made better trades even if simply through pure good luck.
