Man, you guys and your trade proposals. I normally take cheap shots at Weitz' Flames related comments, yet guys in this thread have me shaking my head until I get to a Weitz post where I'm nodding in agreeance . Good lord.
Here's a huge hint - You can't just keep adding players in until you feel you've achieved some perceived equal value to a star player. What you guys are doing without knowing it probably, is trying to make the best trade proposal possible while not giving up anyone you like. Well great, except the real world doesn't work like that.
You can't go "Well, Bennett, Monahan, Hamilton, Brodie, etc are all non starters because those are core players for us, so let's see maybe a third liner and some super awesome, definitely gonna be great someday prospects, and hey you know what? Maybe even a pick to sweeten the pot".
So our core players are super untouchable because....they're our core players, yet the other team is supposed to just be understanding of that and give up
their core player?
