Pessimism reigns!

Yes, this is what I was talking about. Brannstrom at that time was at the pinnacle of his prospect hype and really viewed as a top bluechip prospect similar to a top-5 draft pick. Although his stock has subsequently fallen off, he was that highly rated at the time. I think we have to secure a bluechip prospect on that order in any trade, if it comes to that.

You're saying we need to turn Forsberg into the Erat of an Erat/Forsberg type trade

Look at the Mark Stone return. 2nd plus an A prospect. I'd say that's a reasonable comparison.

That trade was what amounted to a 2nd and a top 5 draft pick. That's considerable more value than a low level 1st and a 3rd.
