A trio of important trades from 3 seasons ago

[Victor 11,252]

In S70 there were a few trades made with long-term repercussions because of the picks involved. Trades across 3 draft years are always interesting when all the pieces come together so let's see what happened.

 

@Peace                                                                                                                                @Beaviss

 

Not a great start to the Toronto rebuild in hindsight. Vancouver clearly didn't want to give up a first straight up for 1 season of Tzuyu so it made sense to give them a 2^nd to balance things out but due to the unfortunate inactivity of Graves, that 2^nd now looks like the best piece moved in the trade. Either way, the Wolves make out like bandits.

 

@ShawnGlade                                                                                                                        @Beaviss

 

The thing that gets me about this one is that two seasons prior when Davos needed to make a cap dump, Vancouver got them to pay a 1^st. A 1^st that to get back, Davos had to give up an even higher 1^st later (Jeff Downey). Yet when the Wolves were dumping Philliefan, they pretty much got fair value. None of the Dynamo's pieces are still with the team, Philliefan becoming a pick used on Jared Wills while the leFlamant pick was swapped for Derek Eriksson. The Wolves got a roster player and a very promising prospect now in Su.

 

@ShawnGlade (but @GustavMattias was fine with it coming in?)                                     @Peace

 

Finally, the most fascinating one of them all. I think this was Shawn's last trade for Davos and I was arguing it should have been voided by the blue team as it made no sense for the Dynamo to give up their new S70 core for futures. I still stand by that tbh looking at it now. With the Gino pick traded down and then shipped alongside Calia to Moscow for even more futures, the Dynamo still have nothing tangible on their roster to show for this one. Surely now that they're buying players and attracting free agents, Magnum, McDagg, and especially Hextall in net would have been beneficial?

So Victor wanted the DAV - TOR trade reversed, while a good chunk of people thought Davos won the trade by quite a bit.

For me it was more of a "what's done is done" mentality. I was asked if I wanted it voided and decided that I didn't really care enough or know enough about what had happened to Davos before I took over. Probably should have taken a close look at everything and made an informed decision one way or another but I was new and inexperienced and didn't want to be that guy to come in and tell Peace "yeah, you know what, never mind about that."

 

I do remember thinking Toronto won the deal when I first saw it and having someone explain to me that Davos got a lot out of it too; I don't know why the lesson about "lotto picks are super important" didn't stick with me when I traded that S71 TOR 1st away...
