Re: Did I make a good trade?
Kadri was a 50pt player before Lou arrived. I put a lot more weight in Babcock's influence on Kadri than Lou (who probably said 'hi' to Kadri once a week or two. It seems though almost every Islander prospect takes 2 years longer to make an impact than any other team - and it's not a depth thing. I would love to be a fly on the wall when LL sits down to chat with Ho Sang and try to figure him out.
In this instance I think if HS makes it this deal will be a wash, you traded risk (unkown future) for a different kind of risk (Ho-Sang, headcase??), personally I would have kept the pick, but that's me, I've avoided Ho-Sang in every pool and removed him from any trade offer I've received - insert some level of bias here.
