i want the bartkowski thread back
Colorado and Dallas aren't going to trade guys for someone they passed on a year after the draft and I'm willing to bet we're happy with our guy.
Reading comprehension again, man.I don’t agree.
I think it’s significantly easier to draft and/or acquire good wingers than it is to draft and/or acquire good centers, defenseman, and goalies.
If you take care of the C D and G’s first, the F’s will follow. That’s just my take though.
I thought I did spell it out for you by equating it to the folly of drafting for positional need, but you seemed to misinterpret that the same way and seemed to end up agreeing with drafting for positional need.Lolllllllll
That’s exactly what you implied with your post!
If it’s not?
Do you mind spelling it out to me?
Because any sane man reading your post would deduce the same thing that I did.
Translation: Even if you have a preference for defense or center, so does everyone else, it's obvious-- You're not going to be able to easily get identical return for an equivalent player playing a more desirable position.You can't expect to just make lateral trades to have equivalent players at your preferred positions.
Translation: You would just end up taking on an additional risk/hit if you attempted to do so anyways. The fact that C/D are more desirable is factored into the perceived value of the players in a trade.That would be accounted for in a trade and the return would be indicative of that preference
Translation: Even if Ds/Cs are desired over wingers, it's not so much so that you should be willing to take that lower return/added risk regardless, unless you're actually in a bad position and your hand is forced.and position isn't such a be all end all that anyone should be willing to take the hit that would be necessary.
Translation: This is even more clear when looking at the same problem with drafting for positional need. When you're playing with such a high degree of uncertainty of outcome, and a preference for C/D is already accounted for in perceived draft placement, it's foolish to be willing to take an additional hit on top of that solely for the sake of positional need, thinking that you've just made a shrewd and advantageous move.Reading comprehension, man.
It's the equivalent of drafting for positional need and expecting to come out of that well.
