I never said specifically we should have got Roy... I was using him as an example of value given for a good player.
Why can't we find a good winger for the equivalent price of what Roy went for?
I wanna win the cup not lose in the first round.
So do I, but I see no harm picking up a good winger for the value of a 2nd + 4th
Strengthens our team right now... gives it a little more pop... if the player fits we have the cap space to make a contract offer...our youth gets to play playoff games, expirence that will help us win a cup one day.
I am not seeing any negatives... we have a loaded farm system as is
Look at what Clowe got. He is awful. Someone who is actually good will get more than that. A legit top 2 line winger will return more than Roy. Dunno why Roy got such a low return, maybe GMJN vales that prospect a lot.
With that package you get a 3rd liner or someone with an awful contract. Either way do not want

It's not up to Murray IMO.So did Lehner's performance tonight convince Murray to part with Bishop? We need some serious help up front and on the back end.
Derek Roy basically went for what I'm saying... he's no third liner
Jagr went for two no name prospects and a 2nd
Iginla went for two no name prospects and a 1st
We don't need to go for a homerun... if Murray wants to find something at a reasonable price he can
Agreed.This place values picks way too much
It's ridiculous really

Sure, but if we're going to use next year's 2nd on a rental, why not next year when we really have a shot with Spezza/EK/everyone else healthy.
The Sens are building through the draft. Its hard to do that when you dont have many picks.

Agreed.
Most second round picks will not become a Silfverberg/Lehner. It doesn't matter if it could.
