Seath The Scaleless

to those who don't like the Chicago trade it's seems very obvious to me that Chicago scouts feel the players available @ 4 wont be as good as Byram, obviously Buffalo feels different or this was the best offer they recieved and didnt think they could get more elsewhere. I've said this a few times that I don't believe this group of prospects are particularly strong at top of the draft compared to other years and we've now seen 3 top 10 picks moved 4-5 days prior to the draft don't remember the last time that happened. this might be due to a particular weak UFA crop but this is a clear message top 10 picks are getting moved for guys like Byram, Eklund and Tkachuk. not exactly superstar players.
The problem is that Byram could just walk to UFA next summer. I imagine Chicago will do everything they can to keep him, but never know
