Spitting out **** like "7 5th round picks for Draisaitl" is nothing other than trying to start ****. Have some common sense.
Please, name me the last trade in the NHL that was 7 assets for 1..
It’s called a hyperbolic example to prove a point. You should be able to figure that out.
Oddly enough, you’re right about seven-for-one trades not being a thing, but you couldn’t be further off about the reasoning. It’s because 999 times out of 1,000, it’s quantity not quality, so it’s actually short on value. You don’t think vegas would have been over the moon if buffalo called up and said, “on second thought guys, we’re actually looking to round out our organizational depth. We’re now looking for seven pieces. So scratch the first, maybe it two seconds. Ditch krebs and make it two lesser prospects.”
In order for an actual seven plus for one trade to happen, it would have to be a trade of such magnitude that not only are the seven pieces included, but they’re also super high value. But that’s never going to happen, right? That would have to be like a 1st overall pick generational talent traded when he’s a teenager.
Hmmmm, wait a second, that has happened. Would you look at that, it was 10-for-one. Two first round picks, forsberg, hextall, a boat load of cash etc.
