HoF thread right here. Glad to be part of history.
Reusable just update the title and use it next yearwhat if there are no draft pick trades? what does this thread become then?
You're a beautyMaybe the real draft pick trades are the friends we made along the way.
The Sportsnet announcers made a good point late in this evening's broadcast: It was such a deep draft nobody wanted to trade away a pick that could turn out to be a good, contributing player.
And maybe the GMs and scouts wanted to get the first round done quick so that they could all get back to Tootsies.

There are years when the draft is pumped too much about how good and deep it is , yet after the first 6 the conversation dropped off to what each draftee needed to do to make it in the league. It got to the point around 14 and on that none of the broadcasters predictions were close. When it’s all said and done outside the top three pick the draft will be similar to any other year. It may well turn out to be a bust year for the draft. With players picked 10 thru 20 having words used like average to poor skating and comparisons to just average player that have been drafted in the same area. The only trades that would have made sense was moving up to the top 7 after that it became a nahhh we will just wait our turn the difference is not all that great. Chicago was probably the exception they already had there home run and have linemates for him now. It was no surprise all the centers taken. It was also noticeable the Russians and Swed’s and the decreasing number of Canadian players.The Sportsnet announcers made a good point late in this evening's broadcast: It was such a deep draft nobody wanted to trade away a pick that could turn out to be a good, contributing player.

Kyle Davidson meeting with press soon so Hawks are probably done
Hawks tried to trade into 1st round but it didn't work from all reports
Hawks had four 2nd round picks + two 3rd round picks but couldn't parlay anything into a late 1st
-Yep, no takers-
