But why would you trade Fogarty now? He is a freshman in college. Or Anderson who is not even here yet? You don't know what you have in them yet and its early and they are cost effective and you want to trade them for picks? Why? So you can draft players that may or may not be better than then?
That is the open question I am asking. Does it make sense to trade Forgarty, or this one, or that one, and try to pool those results into a better percentage pick or two?
I think we have picks we believe have more promise, and should be less inclined to deal -- including Nieves, Jean, Noreau and others
and we have others that NOW seem to have comparatively less promise including Fogarty.
So should we stick entirely with what we have?
Or should we hedge our bets?
And if we hedge, who do you propose goes and for what return?
Because let me tell you one thing, the chances these kids get you a 1st as a return are zilch.
Agreed. No one said let's try to swindle Yogan for a 1st.
but we can consider
Yogan + for a second.
St. Croix for a second
and, if we still have that conditional third from not reaching the SC finals, add that, and maybe, if we want to push for first instead of multiples,
2nd + 2nd + 3rd = 1st
Now unless Sather can pull an Oscar Lindberg all over again and steal a better prospect from a team using a Yogan and company that's the only reasonable scenario I can see because there is enough scouting involved.
Yeah, let's speculate as to that.
Otherwise I don't care how deep the draft is, it is still a lateral move.
Maybe, depends how it works out.
