I think that you ALWAYS have to do that trade.TGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14971098.post-14238874869461506042010-10-15T12:45:19.847-04:002010-10-15T12:45:19.847-04:00In these salary cap days, a team that intends to b...In these salary cap days, a team that intends to be good on a long term basis really needs to have a constant inflow of good, cheap draft picks and the Caps are one of the best examples of this.

In that trade we got a part that blew up an entire team and forced a ground-up rebuild. Doing that through the draft wasn't just the best way; given the Caps' assets after the Jagr-induced firesale, it was the only possible way. No downfall, maybe the Caps never get on this train, but go on tinkering instead of developing for decades, becoming something like the 1990s Orioles.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013136858808930945noreply@blogger.com
