We saw how crippling to the team it was when a single one of the players turned into a pumpkin. We ruminate over the fact that Sam Bennett never turned into the player he was supposed to be. Imagine removing all of them and having none of them turn into the players they did? How would this team look right now? How would the organization have developed?

Also, Gillies wasn't a first rounder, so another swing and a miss.
So you think that trading a 6th overall, 4th overall, 5th overall and 14th overall is equivalent to including a 24th overall, 26th overall, 14th overall, 5th overall?
The trade you proposed is dramatically different than trading our current slate of prospects. That was a handful of top 10 drafted prospects.

For the record, I didn't even propose that. I proposed that we could include Tkachuk at a value of "3" 1sts.
