I think they're made some pretty good progress and spelled it out. Just because you have a more negative view towards things (and you're welcome to said views) shouldn't make it funny that I don't see it the way you do.

Don't find it funny at all.
Bingo you have taken a contrary position.

IMHO it is accepted practice that you build through the draft. There are numerous examples where this has been driven home: Kessel picked up to kick start a bubble Leaf team. Ernie Hickey for 1st overall Guy Lafluer. McCabe traded for Chicago 1st round pick (one of the Sedins) letting Chicago wander in the wilderness for another 5 years.

You have to expect that there would be a bit of questioning of your logic.

It says a lot for the high regard (following) that you have on your message board that you are able to maintain support for the un-conventional position you have taken on draft picks for players.

I feel that I would be soundly ridiculed if suggesting Valamaki , Dube and Andersen for Hoffman would work out for the Flames.
