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

We all know Gio has the Dion mentoring stamp written all over his current style of play

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.

T.Bay and Detroit! It's outstanding!

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.

Sarcasm for (frank)s sake?

No I got it, I just edited it into my post after

Always hurt? Isn't this is first big injury this year?

Do you ever look things up before you spew crap?

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.

its just too snippy in here, hard to tell

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.

You want him back?

Well. Cut him slack. He said this year. So a few injurys a year is fine.

thats Justin Shultz you're thinking of, outside physicality, defensive prowess...

we needed to make the cap floor somehow...

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.

- DDM-Coga

As well as we know each other you couldn't figure that out?

No idea. Hall, no way... its just Mact would get bent over even trying, especially now...

yep... the usual suspects
