I mean, they have had a lot of top 10 picks that they've whiffed on.

And then especially you look at who was taken above them.

And I think the stinger was that some guys that were taken above who they picked ultimately were in that Quinn Hughes trade, which I think was the final stake in his heart or the dagger in the whatever the saying is.

I don't know what's 5 a.m.

here, but

I think the drafting was a huge thing, horrible drafting, which obviously is not just on him.

There's the rest of the scouting staff, but that's the first.

I think some bad contracts in the ways of no movement clauses, and I think we saw that come to fruition with the Dougie Hamilton situation.

He made his bed.

He got forced ultimately to sleep in it.

He gave out that no move clause to Dougie, and then he wasn't able to convince him to move.

People are kind of questioning why does Jonathan Kovacevic have a no-move clause?

The Devils have the most no-move clauses in the NHL.

Andre Palat had one.

He ultimately decided to waive to go to Long Island.

So I think sort of just handcuffing himself with giving those out

And then, like I said earlier, I think failing to land Quinn Hughes was kind of it for him.

I think it was the worst-kept secret in hockey that Quinn wanted to play with his brothers.

He wanted out of Vancouver.

And just the fact that he's not able to get that deal done, it's just like, what are you doing, man?
