And it's not even our third; it's likely to be pretty low since it's Edmonton's or Colorado's. So we're talking what, a pick in the 80s, probably? Not a big deal.It's the only thing of any value we sent back. I have no problem with a 3rd - they don't often become top 4 Dmen.
The 3rd round pick level is my limit when it comes to using the pick in a seemingly frivolous manner. 3rd-7th I really tend to not care what it's used for as long as it's not someone that is seemingly a rental. The 2nd round picks and higher need to be for players that are pretty decidedly going to be part of the long term plans of the team. Using a 3rd on someone with an extra year that can be at least a 3rd pairing contributor is fine with me. I'd still prefer the 3rd rounders but not going to worry about it like I would 2nd rounders or 1st rounders.And it's not even our third; it's likely to be pretty low since it's Edmonton's or Colorado's.
