Aren't 422 and 461 when we are just picking spares.... I guess 422 is an 18th round pick... so a 4th liner.

I traded Provost for Giroux, ultimately giving numerical value for free. No one bat an eye. Taylor is Taylor, not his drafting rank. I was a good sport and added so the numbers work. The fact it's spares or 4th line or whatever shouldn't matter here.

Didn't everyone approve Provost for Giroux... which was basically -30 and nothing back lol

I thought it was obvious that BB (who had Bobby Hull) picked Provost, who he had no particular use for, in order to prevent me from drafting him - then traded him out of division. Which was kind of clever in a way.

This is your interpretation, which is false by the way. If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't have taken 6 hours of excruciating deliberation on my clock. I traded Provost after a buyer-remorse and seeing that Giroux was stuck on a team that couldn't play him where they wanted. It was a pure accident.

Of course when I picked him I wanted to avoid GMs in my division taking him, that was part of his appeal sure.

Oh sorry, I don't think you had ill intentions, but that's the way it worked out. I intentionally didn't comment on the Giroux for Provost trade at the time because I found it annoying how it worked out :laugh:

yes confirm the second trade lol

also just to be clear:

I picked Taylor because I couldn't decide between Palffy and Taylor and figured let's get both. Got happier with my pick on Palffy as time went on. Realized I screwed myself in not getting Roenick. @BenchBrawl reached out asking for Larmer or Taylor. We discussed it a bit, originally I wanted the 278 spot to pick Roenick, but it was clear he wanted Roenick. Then I just decided to give him Taylor for some earlier picks because I don't need Taylor and Larmer (he wanted Larmer obviously for the same reason I wanted Roenick, but I wasn't willing to part with Larmer).

The pick values at this point are overscrutinized in my opinion, so that's why I was like whatever, I missed out big time on Roenick by taking Taylor.
