I would say Minny is better considering they added those 3 and gave away nothing.

We gave away 5 1st round picks (Grigo, Zads, Armia, 25th,21st)

Lemiux
Myers
Compher

- sbroads24


I won't shed a single tear about losing either Armia and Compher and I liked both of them. Not sure I will regarding Lemieux either.

Zadorov, clearly. Grigorenko is TBD. I am rooting for him to do well but hardly convinced of what his place will be in the NHL.

I like Myers but it felt like he needed a change of venue, both for himself personally and for the team.

The point isn't really whether they will be missed or not. The point is that while we added A LOT of top end talent, we moved some out as well.

You could also argue EDM adding

Sekera
Reinhart
McDavid
Draisaitl

is up there as well

If Reinhart shouldn't count for us, then Draisaitl shouldn't count for Edmonton.

So we lost Myers and Zads (two quality D) and got back 4 top-6 forwards (Reinhart included), a top 3 D and a goalie with a high ceiling. Gigantic haul.

We need to bring this up 4 years from now to really see how it worked out. As far as the players stardom/bust is still too early to tell.

i agree.. out of all the prospects we gave up.. the only one that we feel has a hard to miss shot of being a solid NHLer is Zadorov. and myers is myers.. we really need to see how Armia, lemeiux, compher and stankaranko really pan out.

We have no clue if Reinhart is a top 6 forward. I'm not sure how you can discount Grigorenko, yet proclaim Reinhart to be one without either having a big enough sample size

I'm assuming this stands for "Get your facts straight." If so, you have an error, so currently it says "Get facts your straight."

Interestingly enough, I drove by a place in West Virginia this weekend called the 19th Hole Cafe. Considering the windows were boarded over and there was a sign saying 21 and up I'm not thinking it's actually related to golfing.

Too bad those of us that actually speak proper English know that "yourself" is one word and would not require the use of 2 letters the way he used it.

Do we know for sure? No, of course not. Where would I put my money? Not even close. The track record for #2 overall picks is pretty damn good.

Either way, it wasn't like the statement hinged on Reinhart. He is one of 6 very very good players that we brought in.
