I actually love this return for Columbus. As the assistant of Columbus I would take the fall on this trade if it become a failure.
But I actually think we have the edge since Backlund and that 5th overall will be incredible. I simply felt that Columbus is not a playoff team at the moment and rather build it the right way. Can anyone give any thoughts on the trade.

My thoughts: I paid you because I wanted Bolland

[Nick]

depends what you do with those picks...


but
Mikael Backlund+ Brad Ross +5th + 16th + 50th

for
Dave Bolland + 10th + 18th


is a good trade. Because of 50th I give u the edge. but somehow id wager scott does more with 10+18 then most anyone would do with 5/16. LOL

I really like a couple guys around my 10th, 12th, & 17th or 18th picks.. I'm more than likely gonna keep 3 of those 4.. 6th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, & 46th are definitely available.

I like your offer involving 6th, just not a fan of the player I'm not keeping.

The player you're not keeping? I could substitute players..
