Around The League: 2016-17 Playoffs

Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

It depends. I wouldn't trade a top 8 pick that easily but otherwise, yeah, a late first rounder isn' that different from a 2nd rounder which seem to be tossed in casually in a lot of deals.
 
Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

I wouldn't trade my first for a rental (unless I was at the point where i thought my team was one player away from the cup).

But they got Bouwmeester with an extra year on his deal, and then signed him to an extension.

If you can get a player in that situation, its great.

For a rental, nope. For a player you would sign, though? And who wasn't in his mid-30s?

Absolutely.

Take Vanek for example... If I could sign him, I'd give up a 1st+ for him.

Yup.

If you're drafting in the 8 range, yeah, those aren't the type of deals you should be making (Unless you're getting a Kessel-type player in return) but when you're drafting in the 20-30 range?

The Bouwmester trade is one of the examples of why I would never be hesitant to trade my first round pick and why I believe they're the most overrated assets in hockey.

Imagine if we had traded, say, 2013 1st + Brady Vail + Charles Hudon for Bouwmester.

Would anyone here even think twice about that?

Oh I dunno. Imagine if we traded, say, a 2nd rounder for him and it was PK Subban. I make rental deal only if we ca sign the player.

What the other teams do with the draft picks you give them is completely & utterly inconsequential because as usual, your pea-sized brain comes to stupid conclusions. If their picks turn out to be studs, good for them. If their picks turn out to be duds, sucks to be them. Do you think we would have picked those very same players as them? Of course you do.

^wow, so posters who have different views or opinions have pea sized brains and form stupid conclusions? The arrogance of some posters here is off the charts.

Agreed. It's getting pretty ridiculous.

Edits are coming gentlemen. The sheer intolerance for opposing opinions is ludicrous.

Then you have breakdowns because people retaliate against personal attacks that causes an escalation.

If you disagree with someone, use logic, not idiocy like calling them haters, stupid etc.

Yeah that's like... "what if we traded away a 6th rounder and that team ended up drafting Datsyuk???!!"
 
Re: Around The League: 2013 - 2014 Season

I think LA will be the team that will most likely go after the likes of Vanek or Moulson....they can't score anymore, I think they've been shutout 3 of the last 5 games ....not sure

Or if Galchenyuk becomes a superstar, we can point to the Gomez trade as an astute and strategic trade by Gainey that laid the groundwork to us getting one of the best in the game.
