Any other ones I'm forgetting??? And no this is not a troll, I'm just going back through. My next one you will understand what I will be getting at....
The thing was that trade wasnt as time defying as the blues potentially cucking themselves. Last year the blues almost screwed themselves out of a cup as before Nylander was signed, Friedman reported Pitrangelo was offered as the gm thought the season was over for the team. Could u imagine that. If that happened the Leafs would have acquired muzzin and their Dcore would have been terrifying. But it also would have been sad as the blues comeback would have never happened.
Had this argument a few times. Now I understand that the climate of teams cap situations may influence deals... but... Kapanen is a first round pick who has proven nhl good. He puts up points at a low end first line high end 2nd liner while playing on the 3rd line 50% of the time with no pp time. He kills penalties scores short handed goals and is used in defensive situations.
My question is how does that lower his value from the time of draft till now? I’m not saying he’s worth a top 10 pick. But I would certainly say a mid to late easily. In fact I don’t think you could draft a player like him again very easily in the latter part of the first round.

Personally it depends on the draft. This year no not worth a first, next year maybe
