Around The League - 2025 Offseason

I'm waiting to see when there's going to be a GM that's able to regularly identify early on that his first/second round picks aren't going to pan out & trade them before the other organizations realize it too.

The Oilers pulled a real fast one on Nashville last year when they traded a 1st + Reid Schaefer for Eckholm. One of Nashville's scouts was on the radio live when the trade happened and he was ecstatic. Problem is, Reid Schaefer's not very good.
Vegas??

Even I knew he was junk.

But Holland probably thought he was giving up a top guy.

Yeah, there are players that you don't need to watch a dozen times to get the picture.

It'd be one thing if he was a third round pick, but a late first on a guy like that? Ooof.
