A second round draft pick is a massive “throw in.” red wing fans forget what drafting talent is about clearly. You have to trade aging and expiring assets for picks and prospects. That’s how rebuilding works. Red wings are brutal. With almost no assets worth anything. I wouldn’t even want Staal or mantha. Especially not for the boat load of stuff red wings fans want for him. He doesn’t even move the needle. He another 20 goal 50 point guy. Bruins have about 5 of these guys and the fans hate them. Just another whipping boy for the bruins fans to tear apart.
Yes, rebuilding is turning aging assets into fresh assets, but Mantha & Bert both are still RFAs. Those aren't "Aging assets" Staal, yes, we got a 2nd to take him from NY and will possibly flip him at the TD or not, doesn't really matter since he's just a warm body for us to fill a spot.
Almost no assets worth anything... Seider... Raymond... Zadina... Larkin... Hronek... numerous other kids in the pipeline. You must not understand rebuilds take time and you don't flush NHL quality RFAs away for other teams failed lottery balls.
