Quote:If they trade him Caldwell basically would be admitting he screwed up with that draft pick.. And i doubt Caldwell wants to be wrong. So he will stay..

 

I am not one who goes along with the "it was a weak draft" argument, but it was his first draft and seemed like a safe pick at the time. Seems he has learned a little since then. I'm sure in hindsight, it would have been nice to draft D. Hopkins.

 

I do have to say though, for that entire draft to be complete garbage 3 years later is pretty astounding. I think a lot of that speaks to the coaching, because the simple odds are there would be at least 1 serviceable guy in there. And I know what you are thinking, but Cyprien still sucks.
