Gord Stellick: “But anyway, about Brad Treliving? You mentioned that name. I don’t need to pile on the schmozzle that’s Toronto without delay in a number of ways, but, but we talked earlier that this propensity for teams on the whole to devalue late first round picks and be readily include them in trade deadline deals to trades on the whole, sort of like what the NFL began years ago, putting a worth on a pick.

Do you’re thinking that they’re going to revisit that just a little bit? And you furthermore may think they’re going to revisit a vote, making it top five, only top five excluded, or top 10 excluded, since you expected you were going to make the playoffs. Do you’re thinking that this type of schmozzle goes to cause general managers just a little more pause for thought moving forward?”
Elliotte Friedman: “I feel it’s going to make you fight more for more protection. Like, I don’t know. Actually, it’s interesting. Gordy, one thing the tanking is so bad within the NBA without delay that they’re talking about solutions for that. And one among the things they’re sort of talking about without delay, I feel it’s more of a brainstorm than anything near actual real policy, but they’re talking a couple of limit on how much or how often you possibly can trade first-rounders. That’s one among the chances, ideas, and solutions being thrown around.
I just think for like, I feel without delay there’s a number of self policing from the managers. Like, on this particular case, Toronto decided to take that risk because they desired to get that deal done, and it could bite them.
But I don’t, like, I don’t think that that is something the league needs to manage or moderate. I feel it’s simply that you may have to make your mind up what you’re comfortable doing in a trade. And the amazing, the one thing I don’t like, I’ll say this, is that I feel if there are conditional picks, they should be clear what they’re like.

The thing that happened with Florida and Chicago, where it turned out we didn’t know for a yr that Florida had top-10 protection on this yr’s pick. Initially, I hate that I didn’t realize that. I admit I’m partially annoyed myself, but I just think that, like in the event you look, I went back to the releases from the Blackhawks and Panthers when that trade was made, and there was nothing there saying that. I feel it needs to be clear on the time that these are the conditions on the picks.”
