I also find it hilarious when people get down on a guy like Sven. He has the same point/game avg. as Monahan.

Patience is key in this rebuild.

In trading for the 1st overall, I would move unproven commodities (draft picks) or aging players (Hudler/Wideman, etc.) first.
Good post! I agree with you about Sven, also. It's interesting to see how often Sven was on the ice when Monahan was particularly hot early in the season. I find the same talk about Backlund and Brodie. The 'let's trade them because they had good seasons and can't repeat' foolishness. This seems to me to show a lack of confidence when you have a good thing going for you. You might just as well trade them for magic beans.
