The notion that you can get a promising young player for a cheap compensation pick is a pipe dream.

Disagree. There are several teams who cannot afford to pay their RFAs 3.4 or 2.5 million dollars. I'd take a look at: Tanev, Kruger, Shroeder, Leddy, Barberio, Aulie, JT Brown, Spruggen, etc...
A lot of these players would be great value for a 3rd and some for a 2nd.
