I'm always a pessimist when it comes to giving up picks. I know it's an exciting time for the team but I don't want a cup at all cost.
Totally reasonable.
Personally, I don't want to give up any strong prospect we've seen develop but I'm okay spending a picks to up our odds. My rough mental math is it's the odds the rental ups our chances vs the odds that pick becomes a top 6/4 player.
(For comparison, after this trade, the bookies upped our odds from 17:1 to 13:1, or 5.88% to 7.69% which is an almost 30% increase!!!)
Not a bad way to look at it. Let's hope he lives up to the hype!
Agreed!
