It's painful reading so many bias posts here.
Stringer is so overrated. Always has been. He kicks bullshit goals out of his ass and everyone thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread.
When have you ever seen him take an overhead contested mark?
When have you seen him apply a block for a teammate?
When have you seen him bust his ass to apply pressure or create an opportunity for a teammate?
His off field and on field attitude sucks. He can't win an aerial contest and relies on using his brute strength at ground level to stand up in tackles and kick goals out of his ass every third week, but put a 30m wall in front of him when having a set shot and he will consistently miss the target.
He is inconsistent at being good but very consistent at being lazy.
He is poison.
If we somehow walk away with a pick 20 player for him, we are laughing.
For years I read Bruins fans write the same sort of justifications for management trading away young immature forwards who score a lot of goals, but are lazy and act up, only to watch those players blossom in the right system and become the most powerful goal scorers in the league. Different sport, same level of physical commitment, same shit result.
I've seen my teams make dumb, shit trades before. This is another dumb, shit trade.
Even if we get the prime available asset of pick 4 in this draft straight up, which is basically zero chance, we're most likely losing this trade.
Ben Ainsworth
Clayton Oliver
Jarrod Pickett
Marcus Bontempelli
Jimmy Toumpas
Will Hoskin-Elliot
Andrew Gaff
Anthony Morabito
Hamish Hartlett
Cale Morton
That's the last 10 years of pick 4. There are 2 guys in there that will have better, more consistent careers than Stringer.
"Pick 20 player and we're laughing"? Not even close. You generally get guys like Hayden Crozier at pick 20, and most fans on here don't even want him for free.
