i'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I didn't realize it until today:
- Bobby Sanguinetti was traded in 2010 for 2 picks, one of whom we used to take Fast.
- the other pick was traded for Tim Erixon.
- Erixon was part of the trade for Nash.
- Nash was traded for Spooner (who was traded for Strome), Lindgren, and a pick that we used to move up and take K'Andre.
I'm simplifying things of course. But think about that...Sanguinetti (6 total points after the trade) has led us here.
