    Hi,

    Why flip picks when you’re not really guaranteed your guy might be available when it’s your turn to pick? How about taking the guy the other team wants but you could also use and then the other team if your center is available they take and then you make a deal. If your center isn’t available, then you still have your high pick in the pocket

      Who’s to say you only like “one guy”? there are four centers that are basically lumped together in the same range and all with similar upside..you trade down a few spots if you know at least one that you really like will be there, and I am telling you..if the Habs are at 5 and they trade down from 8 to 12..one of the centers they like WILL be there. If they trade down to 8..odds are high their favourite center will be there…but there are four who are all essentially lumped together at this point…none has true first-line upside but they all are legitimate 2nd-line center prospects. So that’s why.

    This only plays for a few seconds then stops. Move the slide bar to another time and does same thing. Any reason you know why? And internet connection is not a problem. thanks

      I am sorry, but I don’t know. There are some things technically that happen over the course of this year that we have no control over and I apologize, but there is nothing we can do and we don’t even know if it is our issue.
