Not bad, I am sure Hugo has something bigger planned with picks anyways. I would love to get Ryan Leonard from WASH or some forward we missed out on last year in the draft.
I can't believe there are people on hfboards advocating to trade Moneyhands for 3rd line Kakko. I rather a 1st than a 3rd liner. At least you can package a first at the draft and move up or potentially get a 2nd liner. Anyways, we need to start selling, Calgary is going to drop below us.
I agree with Sal, we should look to still make the playoffs and not get a better pick. This is a quality team and the experience is worth more than getting a better player. We don't need better players, we just need experience I feel.
I don't necessarily agree if we ended up with a top 7 pick and traded Matheson/Money/Savard for a decent prospect/pick. If those things happen I'll change my tune.

After we win tonight, we are in it. We need the experience over getting a good prospect. The experience of losing in the playoffs is unteachable. It's not something anyone on the team has ever experienced before, EVER.
