I mean, even with regression, and I've mentioned this to ace, at 10% Redding will lose TPE as quick as Hans at 10/15 so the TPE gap remains the same/diminishes a bit. However, I think it is smart for this season too, because the west is genuinely the wild wild west this season, and I could see the playoffs being a wide open affair, and Edmonton, if they can cement their spot, have a good chance of making some noise as the only true strong team is Winnipeg imo

But value for value I like this for Manhattan, due to them bolstering their future nicely and still getting a servicable Hans for the time being to fill in their lineup

Oh no doubt, I think value wise Manhattan wins, but like you said, in a tight West every game matters, if Ace and Karl feel like this was a move that helps cement us as a playoff team that’s good enough reason for me to support it as a player.

I think a lot of value is being put in the S42 first that changed hands, and that’s where a lot of the value going back to Manhattan lays in my opinion. Yeah, the first will hurt a bit.

The S41 2nd is eh, if the season ended today it would be 18th overall? (My math could be off, I’m counting in the two forfeits.) and there was only 29 players in the draft, 5 or 6 creates post draft, I think it’ll be a decent prospect but not a world changer.

The S42 3rd is a negatable piece as well in my opinion, we don’t often see notable third round picks apart from the reddit drafts, we could be wrong though and it swings the scale for sure.


The S43 3rd coming back to us though is what I think tipped the scale for the management team, originally S42 was supposed to be a reddit draft but from what I can tell they’ve changed their mind and it’s going to be S43 instead. There should be a good piece in the S43 draft with that Manhattan pick.


I like the trade as an Edmonton player, but definitely feel there’s potential for those S42 picks to come back and bite us.
