There is a lot wrong with that scenario. Aside from the fact that Glencross wouldn't go to Edmonton and the fact that Edmonton should be selecting Nurse themselves, there is also the point that Glencross should be worth a 1st by himself. He is a 20+ goal scorer on a cheap contract. That combination gives him more value than just being a throw in to upgrade a draft pick.
I also don't like the first trade either. I would happily trade up to get MacKinnon but I am not convinced that Barkov is worth Lindholm/Monahan + another 1st. I would rather draft at #6 and keep the PIT pick.
