Thread: Get more picks in order to flip them for players at the draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Seanovision</b></div><div>Trading expiring contracts for picks. At the draft, package up some picks for a player or two (dont know who you would target, just better than what they have now). They need help, but this year is a lost cause, and I don't think bringing in current players in the middle of the season is a viable option. They are what they are for now. One thing they don't need is a lot more picks. Time to flip/package some of what you can gain this season for some help next season.</div></div>

This makes a lot of sense, I'm surprised that we don't see it more often. Draft picks have their lowest value at the deadline and their highest value at the draft. Conversely, players have their highest value at the deadline.

Why aren't more teams buying low and selling high like you're suggesting?

Thread: Pacific Division Prospect Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TZ11</b></div><div>It was very close between Wiesblatt and Savoie (because he wouldn't be here over any of the LW). It could be either.

I thought Smith was expected to stay injured longer, but if he does come back, Skinner would probably go down again, yes.

I forgot about Petrov. I'll put him on the team instead of Wiesblatt.

The way Broberg is playing, he should stay in the NHL, but it's probably just as likely that he goes back to Bakersfield. My thought process was that he was Holland's first ever pick and that he wants to prove he took the right player and will keep him in the NHL.

Thanks for the feedback.</div></div>
Re: LW, I'd have Savoie as the #1 Oilers LW, with Petrov #2. (Holloway is a center).

Savoie's stats in the NCAA have been outstanding - he's matching Cole Caufield's scoring while playing in a tougher conference (NCHC vs Big-10).
