The poster I responded to asked what we'd have to give up to get the 2nd overall pick "Without giving up ours," as in picking up second overall without giving up our fourth. Adding our fourth to any of that would be ridiculous.
A team like Florida needs futures, my thinking is that 2-5 years of wonderful hockey from Gio wouldn't make their team a contender like 6-8 years of potentially wonderful hockey from Reinhart or Ekblad would.
Trading our 4th+ for a second overall is completely different than trading outright for a second overall.
