I like it. But I feel as though if I did this trade you would criticize it.

Notice how it isn’t just robbing the other team blind. Value is given up. Every single one of your chychrun trades are the same. 1st. Cap dump. Player you don’t mind giving up. Crap prospect.

Hindsight is 20/20 but Strome was the consensus pick after McDavid and Eichel at the time. Obviously it didn’t pan out but that’s how the draft goes. Still doesn’t change the fact that Lysell is not a good enough prospect (on his own) to trade Chychrun for

Ya. If only it was a five for one trade with other prospects, young NHL players, and multiple high picks. Oh wait….

I’m not explaining it to you again lol. Have a nice night bud

Cool with that. It was pretty incoherent the first time around.

I understand if you don't think Lysell is a good enough prospect as a centerpiece for Chychrun. Honestly, it will be a very short list of AVAILABLE prospects that are better than him. Don't fixate on the C versus W debate. Just get the best player. I never understood why people in the know would think that Strome was a consensus pick over Marner. I saw Marner for three years in junior and Strome for four and to me it was clear cut that Marner was better and I disliked London tremendously. I thought Konecny was better than Stome. Like you said, sometimes it's just how it pans out.
