But the 2nds in 2017 and 2018 can still be traded.
Anyway, out of 5 drafts, Bergevin drafted 5 times in the 2nd round, so it's a non-issue, especially if, like you're saying, those 2nds are used to acquire usefull NHL players (Vanek, Petry and Shaw)
I'd trade 3 rounders for Jeff Petry without even batting an eyelash.our lack of depth has nothing to do with first round picks. bergevin gives out second rounders more than gainey gauthier ever did
and having 5 in the next two seasons means trading a couple leaves us still even.
Yes but we don't know that yet. We'll see when we get there.
What happens in case of a tie?
