There are 3-5 of almost the same caliber of player available at the moment, no issue with this move to gain a 3rd at all.

I don't see the problem if they have 4 or 5 guys all rated equally for them at this point. They still get one of them and get an extra 3rd.

Yeah seriously.

At this point there are so many good guys available.

Picking up another third is awesome. Didn't we want that third from Edmonton so badly?

Though it strikes me as an excuse for " we took who was left".

Now watch Zary, Lapierre, Gunler, Perreault all go and we take Schneider anyway

I mean, if they somehow still draft Lapierre, I'll love this trade. But if we end up drafting Schneider, I will hate it. Ugh.

Man, some of you are so easily triggered. 3 spot difference late in the 1st round is not a big difference. Go back and look at previous drafts. You'll see this won't matter at all.

My only thing is going for the top 10 talent if available, even with an injury history. There must be something that scared them off Lapierre, along with all the other teams.

Still plenty of good players at 22, no?
