Yeah you're absolutely right - when NHL GM's compare players and consider trades they would only consider the value of players that play the same position - which is why forwards are only traded for forwards, goalies for goalies and draft picks for draft picks...oh wait they're not..
It shouldn't matter what position the player plays - I'm talking about relative value. For example if Kessel were to get you two first rounders, one could argue that Phaneuf could have gotten us two first rounders. Different positions doesn't necessarily mean different values...what are you talking about?
For the record - I am not trying to bring up the Phaneuf trade - just a comparison...would hate to bring that debate up again.
