It's going to be painful to watch Montreal take a nice player with that 2nd. Just like it sucked that we had to trade down this year to replenish our 2nd.

They need to just stop trading our picks from the first two rounds. Percentages be damned, lets at least give ourselves a chance at picking a good player here.

Additionally, we don't need scorched earth here at all. We just need to move out the two "faces of the franchise" for assets. We'll still have some nice players on this team, and while goaltending might be rough, trading away a 35 and 36 year old isn't "tanking". It's taking a sober look at your asset base and maximizing it to avoid bottoming out.
