[Tawnos]

What are you talking about getting a 2nd and 3rd for Brendan Smith is fantastic value. They really shouldn't be trading so many picks the Rangers. It's like they gave up on developing prospects.

The wisdom of trading assets aside, again.. not "fantastic value." Here's a list:

2012: Nik Grossman for 2nd and 3rd
2012: Johnny Oduya for 2nd and 3rd
2013: Robyn Regehr for 2nd and 2nd
2013: Jordan Leopold for 2nd and 5th
2013: Doug Murray for 2nd and 2nd
