Interested to hear the reasoning behind why anyone in their right mind would part with a pick as early as 8 for a small who has been average by foot
for most of this season.
2 years ago looked like he could be a real good type but lately,meh.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

because even top 10 picks have a 45% odd chance of being a bust, based on playing 100 games with the club that drafted him.

So your greatly valued pick has basically a 55% chance of getting a player as good as the player you are trading for, and even less chance of being a better player.
It will most probably also be 3 or 4 years at least before your draftee has any real impact, if he does at all.

havnt i already posted this?

Just wanted to know why people think Prestia is worth a pick  around 8.

Didn't even mention the draft.

pick 8 has nothing to do with the draft?
:facepalm

when you trade a pick for a player you don't take into consideration the likelihood of matching or bettering that player at the draft table?

Because Prestia is a proven good-very good player who is entering his prime. Pick 8 is an unknown player who will need time to develop.

Your poor attempts at trolling make me feel  sad for you Al.
But luckily you enjoy reading your own material even when its below par.

why is that trolling?

simple line of logic.

if you cant follow it, doesn't mean its trolling.

to determine if a player is worth a pick, you have to be able to put a value on the pick, surely?

how else do you do that besides the likely hood of that pick netting an equivalent or better player?

and that line of thinking is below par, according to you?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

another who cant follow simple logic or reasoning.
what a surprise you'd jump in with that rather contribute something worth while to the discussion.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

Cause to get Prestia you'd have to trade a draft pick

Hence the draft and prestias value is directly related
