According to a recent report by Frank Seravalli, the potential trade with Vancouver has left fans questioning the Penguins' decision-making abilities. Some believe that giving up multiple first-round picks, especially with the organization's weak prospect pool, would have been a shortsighted and damaging move for the team.
Given Hextall's history with the Flyers, where he made similar moves, fans are concerned that he has not learned from past mistakes and may continue to prioritize short-term gains over the team's long-term success.
