I don't think any team will give up two 1sts and not draft in the first round for consecutive years but a top pairing defenceman's value is equivalent definitely. First and a good prospect is what I'd expect market to be and it should be more if it's Edmonton.
Feed Edmonton the toughest piece they need to find and that team will be better, so gambling that they'll stay in the same draft position (10th) or get worse is logically challenged. You probably end up with a mid 1st rounder and Paajarvi who is a year or two away from being a bust and couldn't even score regularly at the AHL level on a team full of NHL 1st overall picks. And the worst part is that you made your biggest rival who you need to go through to ever win anything way tougher.
Even harder to believe that some people are even saying do it for UFA Smid and a 1st. It's like the fanbase are becoming dumber by Feaster-osmosis.
