Boston certainly did a better job of leveraging pick 32 for future 2nd rounders, but we’ll have to look at the combined return for both pick 31 and pick 36 for a fair comparison.
Dropping from 36 to 45 for just cash is a little dissapointing. You wonder if they thought someone would be there at 36 and then when they weren't there they were willing to make a move. Let's see what they do next.

I would think this cash would be on this league year so I'm not sure if any of this matters.
I don’t understand it either.
2nd apron team can't offer cash in trades. The perception was that because we're in the 2nd apron that we couldn't accept cash in a deal
Thanks

That's possible but if they didn't they could have taken something more like the Boston offer.

If they do pick someone, it's either a stash, or a 2-way. And if it's a 2-way, what 2-way are we bumping? Probably Newton...

Bones Hyland can't be a 2-way anymore so he could be the guy.

This is obviously greasing the wheels for a Luka trade.
