How's it working out so far?

bumping just because i want everyone to be aware of who vancouver used the pick on lmao

I guess they liked Elias Pettersson so much they wanted two of them. I hope he makes the team and they end up on the ice together. I’d also like to see the Islanders trade Sebastian Aho to Carolina. Same story there – one is a center and the other is a defenseman.

Actually, the thing I thought was cool about this trade was that a year later, Vancouver traded Schmidt to Winnipeg for a 3rd round pick that turned out to be the pick immediately before the one they gave up to get him, so the net result was they got one season out of him and upgraded their pick from #80 to #79. As if that wasn’t enough, through a pair of later trades they flipped the #79 pick back to their original #80 pick (which they eventually used on the second Elias Pettersson) to turn Travis Hamonic into Travis Dermott.
