I stopped thinking of it in terms of second or third round years ago. It's much easier to think of it in terms of picks 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 30-50 and so on. What may have been an early second years ago may now be called a late first due to the increase in number of teams so I like to think of it as 28th overall, or 42nd or whatever.

I'm more interested in top 5 or top 10 picks. After that I just look at the overall position of a pick. That's just me though, and I get some people prefer the whole first or second round descriptor.

Edmonton has future unprotected 1st round picks that would look good to me.

Hell no Kadri to edmonton.

Same with whitecloud.

Their prospects suck and their picks are too far away.

Maybe some weird three way where ike howard goes to Seattle and we get Shane Wright, but otherwise they can f off.

We could turn this thread into a discussion of whether this is an argument or a contradiction, if you'd like.

2028 unprotected 1st and they have my attention.

The potential upside of that chip could be incredible.

Kadri is nearing his expiry. Let them gut their future to our benefit. We know how those types of deadline pickups work out for them anyways.

I can't. I like Kadri too much.

Anywhere but Edmonton.
