Well it would certainly have given them tons of other picks to play with during the draft. Although I suppose from an organizational perspective, it could be an issue with the max number of contracts if you add an extra draft's worth of prospects at one time.Quote:

It will be interesting to see what he can do with Nash.
Here's a good argument for why it might not be quite as stupid as it seems.

A nice shout out to Thomas Hickey in there
I feel bad for fans of both of these teams.

I can think of 4 reasons (i.e. Stanley Cups) to not feel too badly for Islanders fans. OK, it's been 30 years, but still, that's 3 more than the Kings have. (But, at least it's not 4!!!)Quote:

For a team in as bad a shape as CLB is, having more chances to pick up prospects is never a bad thing. Take some of the 2-7th picks and package them to get some more picks next year in a deeper draft. Quality drafting is quality drafting. Moving down two spots and picking up seven more picks is never a bad choice when there aren't consensus choices in the top 5.Quote:
