Weren’t those deadline deals? Thus by playoff teams do the pick was late in 3rd?
Individual deadline deals of picks 3rd or later...if the GMs have done deals previously these also play a role.
No...they were not.
Marody traded in March 2018...for a pick in 2019. So they had no idea where it would be.
Rinaldo traded June 29th 2017...for a 3rd in 2017. Again, they had no idea where it would be.
Anyone who watched today's game knows why the Flyers won't trade him for a 3rd like some suggested. It would have to be a 2nd+. Something to CONVINCE the Flyers to trade a player they look highly upon.
