It’s a top 10 pick! You are out to lunch if you think either of them are worth that alone.

If top 10 picks were that valuable, we'd have won a bunch up cups in the past 10 years

For kulich alone, a top 10 pick is fine, if we were looking for futures. That's kinda the point, after 13 years of missing the playoffs, trading for straight futures isn't gonna fly. Tuch as a power forward that plays both ways, on a cheap contract, he's not on the table.

I didn’t realize you all have gone to give away the future mode but if that’s the case go big or go home. Trade yours firsts and go after legit players to win now.

Are you trading firsts or not? That’s my only question. If not then why wouldn’t you be interested in trading for a top 10 pick?

So you’re not doing anything? Got it then enjoy being irrelevant again. It’s either one or the other. If you aren’t good, get bad to get good. If you are good get better.

Dude this is how hockey works lol. You’d think if your team hasn’t been any good for a couple of decades and someone from a team that has been good is telling you how to get good you’d listen. We didn’t get good by staying middle of the pack. We were really bad and drafted franchise changing players. Once you are good you trade your firsts and go for cups. It works because we’ve won 5 of them in about a 30 year stretch. Sitting pat means you’re going nowhere.

there's just no way to do it. if management wanted to do right by crosby, they would go to him and tell him that if he's determined to stay in pittsburgh for his entire career, he's likely played his last meaningful game in the NHL.
