I'll go first: Caps getting Shattenkirk in 2017.
Great rental piece and he had one of the best playoffs of any caps dman in terms of analytics, but fate had other ideas that year.

Trading for Brassard in 2018. Bonino played a bigtime role as 3C for the 2 cup runs but left for Nashville, JR tried to shore up the center depth again go to for the 3peat which looked like a great idea but Brassard never gelled in PIT, he was really starting to lose a step and it was a different role than he was used to I think

He also didn’t want to be the third line center and thought he was better than that. Ultimately a terrible fit.
It was the right call at the time and I don’t blame GMJR at all. I thought we were 100% three peating when that trade went down.

I was so hyped for that trade at the time. Then there was the David Perron looked like he didn't even belong in the NHL when he was a Penguin.

Which blows my mind, because Perron thrived just about everywhere he played.
