I don't even count Drai's signing among CHia's blunders. It was the one good thing he was ahead of the curve with.
True that he would be at 10mil-ish now if he had taken a Mackinnnon style deal at the time, but who's to say what else would have changed between then and now. Maybe having 2 mil extra could have been the difference any of the last 3 years and we could have had a cup... or maybe we would have given Ceci and Kulak each 1mil extra when they signed...

The playoff performance Drai had in 2017 made that negotiation far more difficult. Outperformed McDavid, looked like an absolute beast.
MacKinnon had a 52 point season and the Avs were trash when he signed. missed the playoffs the next year too.
Pasta had a 70 point season, playing all year with an 85 point Marchand and Bergeron putting up another Selke year.
All leadership on Bruins had a weird pressure on players that no one should make more than Bergeron as well that seemed to work on Pasta in the end, lol. I do wish we had some kinda voodoo like that, but there was no comparable on our team, Drai blew everyone else away in the playoffs and he got to wait for McDavid to create the big spread in contract value for him to snuggle in under. There was no way Drai was going to sign before McDavid, that would have been just stupid. And there was no way we were going to leave McDavid just hanging trying to convince Drai to sign first, that would have been stupid too.
Worked out in the end. We got 8 years of both of these guys signed for far below their performance was worth.
It's just too damn bad that we wasted almost that ENTIRE TIME with crap management! 1 year left!
