Would you trade a 1st for a sure thing bottom 6 winger? What about a guy like Artem Anisimov? Trading away 1st round picks is often the recipe for ruin. Nobody is going to offer a sure thing 1st line young player or top pairing defenseman for a 1st round pick unless it's a guaranteed top 3 pick so you are left with "sure thing" players with limited upside.
