Are we judging the trade with hindsight or not? Without knowing what those players were going to be, of course a second isn't worth as much as a first, but we also didn't know what Kipper was going to be. We traded a 2nd for a 27 year old goalie who had played a total of 47 NHL games with a career 2.84 GAA and .897 Sv%. If the Sharks knew Kipper was going to be half the goalie he was, he certainly wouldn't have ended up as their 3rd choice guy.
