I still know he is regressing.
You just paid a S15 571 TPE Center, and a first for a S13 762 TPE Center. Not to mention, when you guys are still at the very beginning of a rebuild. Are you really trying to talk shit about over paying? Please just go sit down.

I agree with the overpayment thing, would make more sense for WKP to keep #5 and continue to build through the draft.
But Cant regressing isn't really an issue. He'll remain a top defenseman for several more years. This just feels like WKP trying to keep pace with the rest and keep them in the playoffs.
Without any trade, we still would make the playoffs. You're literally talking out of your ass.

I agree. I think that 5th overall would have been great for West Kendall, but to compete now they need an Elite Defenseman, at least until Bojo starts pushing into the upper echelon of TPE.

The player I traded was inactive and the player I got was active with 3 years before regression.

Not often I'm going to agree with 701, but I agree with him here, and I haven't even been back that long.
The guy who made a real headscratching trade shouldn't be questioning a good one, even with regression, Cant is still active, he'll be a top defender for a while, a draft pick isn't exactly guaranteed, but the Hawks are having to go full rebuild, don't have much of a choice, got to take risks for the future and stuff.
