<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JIG19146</b></div><div>I don't think any Flyers fans thought they were getting the 7th pick for Konecny or Laughton. Sure, one bad trade doesn't mean every trade will be bad now, but you're missing the point. The point is that csick, like many users of this site, is overvaluing his team's players. I don't know if Pinto (who is reported to have requested a trade today) for Farabee and a 3rd round pick is a realistic framework, but I do know it is not so unrealistic that csick can definitively conclude Ottawa won't do it, irrespective of whether he would be happy about it.</div></div>

lol you need to do some research. It was closer to at least 20+ on konecny and easily 30+ on the laughton offers. Go check the offers in the last 2 weeks. You say csick is overvaluing his teams players but isn't that what you are doing.

a center is worth more than a winger. everyone knows this (if you don't please go follow another sport)
pintos demands are $5mil.

The sens would never touch this because rationally it would not make sense to trade a center who wants $5 mil for a winger who already makes $5 mil especially when they have an uncertainty at center because of norris injury.

Its just common sense.

Not to mention the whole trade thing that came out is a negotiation tactic. If you did 5 mins of research(i know research is hard to do) on pintos agent you would know he has tried the same thing with his previous clients (guess what - they never got traded either).

And even if pinto was available would the sens not looking to move him towards another center. like necas perhaps. they have no reason at all to hypothetically trade him for a winger when they themselves are short on good centers.
