Imagine being the GM that traded away the picks that were Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton.

Or the Idiots that traded Eric Lindros? How did that work out for them?

They had to though. He wouldn't play.

But your point is valid, was a great trade.

Gaudreau was a 4th rounder too but we'll see if he is able to live up to the hype. Giordano too although he went un-drafted... there are a (few, very few) examples but it does happen

I think if you can draft 1.5 NHL'ers a season over a 5 year span your doing pretty good.
- Jeropotato


yeah you need to hit your 1st rounder at least and if you can get another guy ever 2 years to crack your line up, you are doing ok.

Effing lightning just hittig gold over and over again with their drafting

I just realized that Jenny Hockey is Calgary's equivalent to Linus Omark.

Yeah..not sure how you can use this as an example.

but you can use trading Joe Thornton for All Done, Shredded Knee and Brad Stuart.

My point is that even bent over a barrel, it worked out pretty well. Sarcasm doesn't always translate in text so I forgive you, my love.

You forgot to add the button NONE OF THE ABOVE - - Eastern media can shove it.
- SPIbanez

so no trades on the "core" and hope the Oil can attract players through free agency, reputation of the city, good strip clubs? Something needs to be done, whatever something is because everything done to this point doesn't appear to be working.

Oh I totally agree, but does 'something' have to include selling Low on one or more of our talented forwards?
There are other options worth exploring.

You got it. I wish top calibre players like Engelland would sign in Edmonton.

Not only that. But the amount of undrafted guys that Tampa scouts.

It depends who you move. Yak is the only one you'd be forced to sell low on at this point I'd say. Like you said though, if it isn't one of the young guns up front, something has to change still. I don't see that you can sit around and hope another year of drafting high turns everything around.
