90% of posts involving trading that pick target a goalie, something that also matters.
Kind of a weird post, no one wants to throw these picks away.

But even if you look at mock drafts on this site.... the Florida pick often gets traded.

How on earth did we crush a draft so hard that we got Quinn and Peterka in our first two picks?
He’s killing it these playoffs. Amazing.
Showing he’s able to elevate his game like this during the playoffs, in his rookie season no less, is pretty much solidifying he’s going to be 100% ready to make the jump to the NHL full time next year. And also likely to have a meaningful impact, probably a notch above what Krebs did this year, as a comparison.
Great scouting and some good draft luck. Peterka was pretty much a consensus 25-30 pick, so we’re lucky he fell to us
That’s why I don’t want to tempt fate again this year and want to try to trade up from the FLA pick using our 2nd rounder, because we can’t rely on getting that kind of luck every year.

Imagine if the Sens didn't pass on him, they'd actually have him and Stutzle.

and they were right.

I wouldn’t even call it luck, they traded up to snag him. What a beauty of a pick.He’s killing it these playoffs. Amazing.

Right! Oh shit, I totally spaced on that. (Although still good luck he was available at 34 and didn’t go in the first round).
So we gave up a 4th rounder to move up 4 spots — amazing work.
This EXACTLY underscores my point about trading up this year with the FLA pick. Bordeleau happens to also be a hell of a player, but we may not have picked him and could have ended up with a nobody. If you have a guy your scouts love, be aggressive and trade up to get him. Quality over quantity.

Quinn might be under performing in the playoffs but he absolutely carried this team to the playoffs which they had no buisness being in having their fate being decided by another team.

I remember many liked JJ's pick but not so much Quinn's.

This makes no sense to me. So Quinn helped the Amerks qualify for the playoffs. But they didn't deserve it because the next closest team lost on the last day of the season?

One of which was used to trade up in the 2nd round to get Peterka -- exactly like what we should do this year! Quality over quantity

If it wasn't for Quinn they wouldn't even be in the position where the Marlies needed to lose to get them into the playoffs.
Quinn had several chances and at least one breakaway last night. He's not disappearing, just needs to finish a few times.

I don’t see a need to compare who’s better at this point, I’m just happy we have 2 potential first liners in both of them 
Usually judging by ‘what have you done for me lately’ is a good way to have a take age poorly.

I had JJP as a mid20s first rounder, and was ecstatic they got him in the 2nd. The playoff performance was exceptional. I wonder if he stays up after camp and Quinn goes down, gets the Derek Roy treatment for 10 games, and then comes up. Impossible to guess at this point, but suffice to say I love how JJP is coming along.
