This makes literally no sense:
We have more available assets to trade than EVERY OTHER SINGLE TEAM in the league. We could EASILY outbid those teams & the overall net gain of the trade would still be bigger for us than for any of those other teams.
Yes - we already have too many high end skill prospects at forward. We can't possibly keep & play them all. So obviously - we need to keep #13 and waste it on another one....
And we've only missed the playoffs for what, 12 years now? We got within a point of finally making it last year - but clearly - it's still not time to try - since having the #1 rated prospect pool seems to be the only thing that matters to much of this fanbase.
