Exactly. The first round pick was always going to be 20-30. That's fine. The problem is that that shouldn't be the best thing Calgary got in the deal. Had the Bruins offer been a non-conditional first, that would be what I would've expected, roughtly. A first tier (though not a blue-chip level) centre prospect, a late first, and either a lower pick or a second tier prospect. In the Boston deal, Kohklachev was the centrepiece and the first was a sweetener.
This is a late first and two second tier prospects. That is crap.
