A useful youngish third-line winger who Corsis as well as he does (when he's not miscast as a center) is worth way more than that. No thanks.

Higgins legitimately looks like he has forgotten how to play hockey sometimes. Like just now a puck came at his skates in the corner and it took him like five seconds to corral it.

Edit: on the other hand, I love Kenins. :swoon:

Yeah but those trades were dumb.

The odds of a second or third round pick turning into a better-than-replacement NHL caliber player are pretty low. Trading a bird in the hand for two in the bush is bad asset management unless you have a logjam at a given position. Since Matthias is playing like our best bottom-six forward right now, gently caress that noise.

i think there's a good argument to be made for trading players at the peak of their deadline value regardless of the effect it has on your club down the stretch, as long as you commit to the strategy every year

I would agree with that statement in a vacuum, but:

a) the market is hell of soft right now;

b) trading him for picks is a risky, low-upside move, I'd be fine if it was for a defensive prospect or whatever, and;

c) our scouts are still hot boiled anus, why give them more bullets to shoot themselves with?

Like if Matthias is a key piece in getting a guy like Petry, then sure, but if it's just some midround crapshoot picks why bother? The chances of getting a guy as good as Matthias in the second round is like 30%.

Edit: What I am saying is, I am incredibly dubious of the value of picks as a return for useful roster players.
