Unfortunately the teams offering reported first and/or second round picks are the top 5 or 6 teams this year, meaning that the picks they are offering are at slotted at number 26 to 32. How many players selected with picks taken this late in the first round turn into stars, or even top six forwards or top four defensemen?

I've been following this thread from its inception. It is surprising there are so many on here chasing the next shiny new potential star.

Hart may be traded, but the only reason Hart should be traded is if he has developed a really poor attitude and does not want to be here!
