This years 1st MUST be lotto protected, top 10, top 5 etc. Otherwise it's a hard no from me dawg.

That's what I was going to say as well. I'm okay trading a 1st for younger guys, but it's got to be lotto protected if we're especially bad (and we are definitely that).

OMFG GOD GUYS A CHICK FROM SINGAPORE JUST SHOWED UP AT MY FRONT DOOR AND MY WIFE IS PIZZZED

Lefty, I'm saying this with a smile on my face so know that I mean it in good humor but...how long is it going to take you to realize that "throwing the checkbook" at 30 year old players is not a good or sustainable way of building a team. Players fall off a cliff at this age in most cases. You're paying them a premium in UFA and all their best years are behind them. Literally watch Nashville play this season and tell me that "throwing the checkbook" at older players in UFA seems like a good idea to you. Edit: If there's an obvious trade to be made for top talent then I'm all for it. For instance, we should have traded for Eichel when he was available. But short of that, I'm not paying a premium for guys who are 28+ years old. Their contracts are almost never worth it and you end up hamstringing your team for years with dead cap space.
