Fans heavily invested in their teams have a hard time accepting the realities of their situation. A couple of days ago I posted an ACGM the sole purpose of which was to suggest Edmonton dumping Foegele with a third and a fourth. But instead of “Future Considerations,” I had a cusp fourth-liner and a fifth coming back. Sure enough, the very first response I got was “Too much to give up for Foegele,” as if the beggars could be choosers (or it would be preferable to give up Puljujarvi or Barrie).
That being said, I think that many of your proposals are a little high for the cost of dumping certain players. Rather than send draft picks with the outgoing player(s), I think most GMs will simply sell their guys for below-market returns, like Bjorkstrand.
