Please don't use these 2nd round picks on plugs.
This team needs defence. Draft defencemen. Draft for high impact potential.
Don't draft players that have been passed over in two drafts.

You mean like Tanner Pearson?
Look at Sven's stats:
this year : 8 goals, 25 points in 36
last year : 13 goals, 29 points in 41
his NHL stats, obviously suck
If this was any other name, and you found out said former-1st rounder from 4 years ago went for a 2nd round pick in a deep draft? That seems pretty standard.
I understand the outrage, I'm kind of pissed at how the whole situation was handled (not just Treliving or Burke, but Feaster as well) but at this point, looking at the trade itself, its good value. The handling of this prospect in particular was a mishandled and we lost a huge asset, but we didn't lose it in the trade, we lost it in the development. He might have success in Vancouver, but he probably wouldn't have had it here.
