Gaudreau 10, and Mangiapane 7. Since then, not a lot of anything, and we have the 2018 draft of nothing but late picks that has yet to produce anything. We need to keep the cupboards stocked and we really need those early picks to do so. I think Treliving would be hesitant to move those early picks unless we were getting something substantial with term coming back. I haven't seen a name on the market yet that would have me throwing in our 1st or 2nd.

Nah. I like the late rounds picks, and I'm confident in our scouting department. I say if you can get them as pot sweeteners, you do it.
