I don't know why but one of my biggest pet peeves is the over valuing of draft picks, especially high 1st rounders and the over valuing of moving up in a draft.
I saw some idiot post on another board....I think it was Monahan and Hanifin for 4th overall.
Like what in the actual #### is that stupid ####? Seriously. Two 25 and under top of the roster players with term and decent contracts for one magic bean? How dumb do you have to be to think that's a fair deal or that an NHL GM with 1% of a functioning brain would think that's a fair deal?
And then you have the mentally stunted notion that it would cost Brady Tkachuk just to move up two spots from 3rd overall to 1st overall.
Ain't nobody trading Brady Tkachuk and Byfield/Stutzle for Lafreniere.
