The only positive I can get from this is twofold:
- with other teams in the mix you never know how those teams will ultimately end up in the final standings so you may get a better pick than 25th overall you’d likely get by selling him now.
- you’re likely to get next years’ picks which bodes a better draft
The ####ty parts are numerous:
- crappier position putting the risk of being in the middle and giving up the pick to Montreal
- chance Markstrom falters and hurts his off season value
Personally I’m really annoyed at hearing the news. Would love to hear what’s currently on the table but it seems like there’s little upside to wait to the offseason. Seems like a be message in favour of playoff revenue.
