It's one thing to be moving those picks if you are a team that is on the cusp of winning a cup or winning cups and trying to win more but this team isn't there yet and I'm not sure there's enough depth in the organization to keep chasing playoff spots instead of cups.

Well if prevents him from using 2nds on players like Mason McDonald and Hunter Smith maybe it’s not a bad thing.
We have a legit prospect pool now. Yes, we need to keep the pipeline coming but under sutter our pool was weak while we traded away picks. I’m not overly worried about losing 2nds as we seem to be hitting on our 1sts unlike the sutter regime and we’ve been drafting well in later rounds as well as gaining prospects in NCAA free agent market.
