Description
So basically fill the roster with contract dumps in exchange for picks which instantly rebuilds a team when you collect them in these quantities. I get that the Eichel trade is 4 superstars short for most on here but it’s actually realistic and what would benefit the rebuilding process more than “knowns” who are just average+. Then, like the stock market I buy low on guys who had high ceilings who just seem to have failed but maybe they haven’t been given the ‘right’ chance to shine and not just be given a handful of games on each line.

Everyone panics with picks because some just don’t work out. That’s just the deal with the draft but NYR had 8 picks in 4 years and they have worked out with the exception of Lias. Late picks?? Pasta was 25.... that being said BUF will have 3 lottery picks in a row that will likely hit and 5 in 22’ which is a deep draft. 2 years of free agency and 3 years of drafting and they will be a playoff team.

Bennett isn't worth his current contract let alone that one.

You’ll get at least two top prospects+++. Whatever else is needed after that

I get the frustration with the players. I just think he needs a change and to be somewhere where he has the chance to crack 1PP. But hey, could just be one of those guys who never workout.. or could be Strome

Bennett would be a throw in on a Reinhart deal to help with cap, that 1st alone isnt close to being in the ball park, youre missing a prospect at least and they'd have to be an A level prospect to make up the value gap. Not even going to bother with the Rangers deal, you already know its terrible
