Picks don’t do anything for the confidence and learning curve of our current backbone and franchise center. Am I saying to trade all our picks? Absolutely not but to say that we can’t trade any because this magic bean will help us in 3 or 4 years doesn’t do any good to Hischier, Hughes, Smith, Bratt, Severson, Blackwood, etc.
Just look at what Severson said yesterday. He’s sick and tired of losing and he has every right to be pissed if our plan is to draft ourselves out of trouble. There’s a difference between adding over the hill bums and players that can compliment our future studs. Yes, it might cost a pretty penny but it’s for the overall good of what we have today and that’s a roster filled with kids that are 23 years or younger.
You’re not attracting a UFA if that’s your main plan and the players we have that are closing in on UFA status are counting the days when they’ll be able to sign for a team willing to actually compete.
