Hypothetical trade

(1/3) > >>

BlackIce:
Suppose the following happens:


(1)  The Caps somehow win the lottery, giving them the rights to draft this year's generational talent in what is supposed to be a deep draft pool;


(2)  St. Louis comes to the Caps with the following offer:  We have the 11th, 24th, and 29th selections in this year's draft.  We'll trade all 3 of them to you for the #1 pick.


Do you do it?

Mickstix:
Nope

alta:
Yea, I’d pass on that trade. It’s rare that a #1 pick really turns into a superstar, especially in their first season or two where this squad will need the most help, and one guy isn’t going to turn this team around. More importantly, this team is screwed until they dump some major salary.

Surreylily:
nope

Beaglefan2:
Wouldn't do it. Maybe look at who the three picks would have been when we got Ovi.  I bet in hindsight, keeping Ovi was the right call!


I am convinced we are going to get lucky in the Lottery.  New Jersey has gotten really lucky the last few years and them coming back to beat us the other night, got us down to #8 so we have that going for us.  Just did the draft simulator and we got the 1st pick on my fourth try.
