[Appleyard]

I was bored at lunch so thought I would look into this! What assets were turned into the players currently on the team over time.

Drafted:

Claude Giroux: 22nd OA pick 2006
Scott Laughton: 20th OA pick 2012
Shayne Gostisbehere: 78th OA pick 2012
Ivan Provorov: 7th OA pick 2015

Drafted from acquired picks:

Sean Couturier: 8th OA pick 2011 (Jeff Carter (11th OA 2003 (Daymond Langkow (Chris Gratton (UFA) + Mike Sillinger (139 OA 1998)))
Nick Cousins: 68th OA pick 2011 (Jeff Carter (11th OA 2003 (Daymond Langkow (Chris Gratton (UFA) + Mike Sillinger (139 OA 1998)))
Travis Konecny: 24th OA pick 2015 (29th OA 2015 (Braydon Coburn (Alexei Zhitnik (Freddy Meyer (UFA) + 62nd OA 2007))) + 61st OA pick 2015 (Kimmo Timonen (23rd OA 2007 (Peter Forsberg (UFA)))

Free agents:

Brandon Manning: UFA 2010
Matt Read: UFA 2011
Michael Raffl: UFA 2013
Chris VandeVelde: UFA 2013
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare: UFA 2014
Michael Del Zotto: UFA 2014
Nick Schultz: UFA 2014
Michael Neuvirth: UFA 2015
Roman Lyubimov: UFA 2016
Dale Weise: UFA 2016
Boyd Gordon: UFA 2016

Trades:

Mark Streit: Shane Harper (UFA) + 2014 4th (108th OA, Flyers)
Andrew MacDonald: Matt Mangene (UFA) + 2015 2nd (37th OA, Flyers) +2014 3rd (78th OA, Flyers)
Steve Mason: Michael Leighton (acquired via waivers) + 2015 3rd (68th OA, Flyers)
Jakub Voracek: (Jeff Carter (11th OA 2003 (Daymond Langkow (Chris Gratton (UFA) + Mike Sillinger (139 OA 1998)))
Wayne Simmonds: Mike Richards (23rd OA 2003) + Rob Bordson (David Laliberte (124th OA 2004, Flyers) + Pat Maroon (161st OA 2007 (Jon Sim (UFA))
Brayden Schenn: Mike Richards (23rd OA 2003) + Rob Bordson (David Laliberte (124th OA 2004, Flyers) + Pat Maroon (161st OA 2007 (Jon Sim (UFA))
Radko Gudas: Braydon Coburn (Alexi Zhitnik (Freddy Meyer (UFA) + 62nd OA 2007))


So starting point of every asset that went into team, using first point originated:

2015 1st (7th OA)
2012 1st (20th OA)
2006 1st (22nd OA)
2003 1st (23rd OA)
2015 2nd (37th OA)
2007 3rd (62nd OA)
2015 3rd (68th OA)
2014 3rd (78th OA)
2014 4th (108th OA)
2004 4th (124th OA)
1997 5th (139th OA)
Peter Forsberg (UFA)
Chris Gratton (UFA)
Jon Sim (UFA)
Matt Mangene (UFA)
Shane Harper (UFA)
Freddy Meyer (UFA)
Michael Leighton (waivers)

Pretty interesting I thought... even though does not tell whole story!

Just when I forgot what exactly we traded to acquire Andrew MacDonald before Homer signed him to that fabulous contract, this thread pops up. Yikes

We'll all celebrate that move and the associated Meszaros trade next decade when Mark Friedman leads us to a Cup.

2014 3rd Rounder (Ilya Sorokon), 2015 2nd Rounder (Brandon Carlo), Matt Mangene

Carlo already in the NHL and Sorokon looking like a great prospect. Makes me hate AMac even more.
