We arent bad enough to draft top 5.
Iggy can be traded at the deadline for around the 20th overall pick and a prospect. Would you trade Iggy for O'Reily straight up? I would.
The value of this trade really depends on the risk of us giving up a top 5 pick. I think it is pretty low. If the pick is not top 5 this is a great deal if it is it may be a bad deal. Look at the Kessel trade. If the leafs finish 20th that year it turns out to be a really good deal for them. Even as it stands that deal isnt terrible.
The real question isnt what we paid to get him it is how does O'Reily develop. If he turns out like 80% of the 50 points at age 20 list than that is better than a 5% shot at Mckinnon.
