Why would you think that? I am genuinely interested in your logic here, because you are not the only one thinking that a star player can be had for a combination of "stuff" thrown into a trade. Other than the infamous Phaneuf trade (we all know how well that worked for everyone), can you name one trade in the past 10 years where an established star player was traded for a couple of picks and a bunch of prospects & 3rd/4th-liners?

To get a rising star you need to give away a star. There's no other way.
