Da

*Shudders* Years of unmemorable mediocrity and consistently picking 12-16. I remember it all too well.

Yeah, uh, the only way to rectify that is to get real lucky and draft a superstar in the later rounds.

It also helps to trade for a potential superstar who is being underutilized because he has "attitude problems."

The Stars needed both to climb their way out of mediocrity.

I think that mostly works for teams where the media doesn't care. Montreal wouldn't be as nice...

I would think Montreal would be one of those places that you'd trade with for their "attitude" player. I would have also said Drouin but let's see where that leads

Isn't Drouin from Quebec?? He speaks French. They'd probably throw a parade if he was traded to Montreal.

Between the Stars and the Pens, that will be the true Model going forward. Plus keeping certain GMs on speed dial; they both pretty much fleeced the Hawks, and also Sharks fans on my TL recently reminded me, Dillon for Demers and a pick?? Holy shit Jim Nill.

I still can't get over the fact that he got them to throw in Johns with the Sharp trade.

And they kept some of Demers' salary! But yeah, at the time, the Dillon for Demers trade looked like an equal trade and no one was particularly happy with it. It was a Hockey Trade for handedness issues.

Now, Jim Nill looks amazing for it.

Sa

But it was a really fair deal; the pick was thrown in because Dillon was a RFA after that season so they could resign him cheap. SJ took about a million of Demers's salary but paying Dillon + retained was less than Demers's cap hit if they kept him.

On paper, it's equal.
