Imagine hiring a guy who traded a 1st round pick for Ryan Reeves
that should disqualify you everything EVER
This is bullshit. You're spreading misinformation.
The trade was:
Reaves and a 2nd (51st overall)
for
Sundqvist and a 1st (31st overall)
So, the penguins dropped 20 spots in the draft in order to swap Sundqvist for Reaves. I'm not necessarily saying it was a good trade. But to say "they traded a 1st for Reaves" is completely missing the point. Similar to the Barclay Goodrow trade to Tampa.
This idea that a first round pick has some sort of special magical power is strange. As if the 32nd pick is disproportionately more valuable than the 33rd.
