A first round pick? Lunacy!!
Just a stupid stupid miss use of resources.
Dumb Dumb stupid move.

uhh, ok, that's bad. I guess this is it for big moves. With zero cap space that 1st rounder was our piece to try to open space to fill holes.
|
FWIW, I'm not going to lose a minute of sleep over the loss of that draft pick. I wonder a little about the opportunity cost using it for Henrique over other options, but if the season ended today and ignoring all the movement based on playoff position, that's a 25th overall pick. There's a decent chance that Henrique plays more games for the Oilers than that player plays in the NHL.

I don't think we or the GM should be that flippant about draft picks. Yes, they are overvalued, but they do hold some value. Even if the decision is to trade them for immediate help every effort should be made to maximize value. Especially when they have McDavid who should be used to set up a 10-15 year run like Crosby and the Penguins. The use of draft picks as assets under Holland has returned a shockingly small amount of value. To the point where we should be wondering what 3 years from now looks like.
I first for a player who might not move the needle in the playoffs and some bonus 4th line grit doesn't feel like the path to success for me.
|
That's where I'm saying that the opportunity cost of moving that pick for an okay upgrade compared to moving that pick for someone who's a true impact player. That's my issue - I think every draft pick and prospect should be up for grabs, but hopefully we can maximize the return on that. I'd be much more excited about Jake Guentzel for that pick than I am for Adam Henrique...
