But you don’t know. You’re taking the biggest unknowns and declaring them fait accompli. They’re not.

Again, if pospisil is packaged with Markstrom so that we can get a player in addition to the 10 then I’m all ears. If pospisil is added to Markstrom in order to secure the 10 only, I’m out.
So in total, you would be individually willing to bet that a player of Pospisil's upside (great middle 6 player as a max) is worth keeping during a retool/rebuild compared to a prospect who could *potentially* be much higher impact and *actually* contribute to a team in its contending stage vs hurting the rebuilding stage?

Idk but seems one option sounds way better than the other
