I can't believe anyone watching hockey would say Ryder is a better player than Cole... Cole adds so much more than Ryder, who's really a shooter and nothing more. Cole may be having a brutal season, I'm not arguing that point...but c'mon, he's a superior player by good margin.
Considering their respective salaries, I agree there didn't need to be a pick involved here though... At least not that high of a pick.
