I can dig it. Don’t forget- no rule against receiving picks down the road via trades too.

Watching Winnik when he played in Colorado I didn’t think he was anything to be excited about. This team needs draft picks to develop young talent and so far we have traded a bunch of them away.

Rutherford is a bright 65 year old GM. I hope people are paying attention to him!

Anyone else see a problem here.

I have to assume “There’s a good that we’re done. I feel our team has as good a chance as any in the league.” is one of them. There’s a good *chance* that we’re done, perhaps?

Seems like a bit more to give up than I’d comfortably like, but… I’m not an NHL GM, either.

It isn’t very accurate because 4 guys could play perfectly and one guy screws up and in the net goes the puck.

The issue is the broad application of the stat rather than it being individually applied.
