But here's an idea. Since we're judging players entirely by what draft picks we could get for them in trades, why don't we trade the entire team for picks every season? We'd have the worst club in the history of the league, year after year, but hey, maybe one day we would have the entire draft all to ourselves. Apparently that's the object of running a hockey team.

That was not what I said. I was just pointing out that placing Gillies in the "goaltenders with potential phase" is a real stretch (unless Bingo meant Mason MacDonald). If Gillies has potential, I would have thrown Mason in as well for a round number of 4 with potential.
But I do think a bubble playoff team with sparse prospect depth trading the most picks of any team in the league is a perplexing strategy. Always have, others are more comfortable with our depth
