Why trade your only goal scorer ? Can Lehner score goals ? in the opponents net ?

My guy in Auckland says most businesses in New Zealand are closed for 2 weeks at this time of year.

Freaking communists.

Their contracts both expire at the end of this year so they would both be rentals.

I think the answer at this point is yes, but I can't help but notice that Kane seems to be cooling off and Lenner seems to be heating up.

Why do you ask? Neither has anything to do with a pick.

- Der Kaiser

Most likely we will get a 1st in the twenties for Kane at the deadline, maybe a prospect as well.

That's what Lehner cost, pick 21. in the 2015 draft.

Lehner is an ok goalie. I don't think he sucks, he also isn't very good to great.

I wouldn't trade Kane right now for a goalie of Lehner's quality. Those can be found in lots of places.

I would however trade Kane for a pick that could potentially be a very good player. With an equal or even slightly greater chance they are nothing special (like Lehner) to even a possible bust.

Draft picks are lotto tickets. I wouldn't trade in a lotto ticket with 1/10 chance at a million dollar Jackpot (Boeser) for a Honda Civic. (Lehner)

Sometimes the pick is worth more than an actual player.

You wouldn't? The expected value of a 10% chance at a million dollars is way more($100K) than the 100% chance of $25K. I thought you were a stats guy. Unless that's a typo, and you're trying to say you would, or it was poorly worded and you didn't expect a smartassed, pedantic answer.

A pick is worth more than an actual player, but a lottery ticket is not worth a Honda Civic?

AND a pick is a lottery ticket?

If my logic is working, that means a player must be worth less than a Honda Civic, right?

No, because I can acquire a Honda Civic anyday of my life by walking into a dealership and buying one. I don't need to give up a chance at a huge jackpot to acquire it. Plus they aren't rare.

Maybe i'm misunderstanding what you mean by a pick being worth more than a player.

I was assuming you were relating this to the Lehner/Sanguinetti debate.

You said a ick is worth more than a player, not me. I think a player is almost always worth more than a pick.

Yes.

My analogy was dumb.

What I’m trying to say is that we didn’t need to settle for a civic. We were rebuilding and needed to hit a jackpot
