That's immediate help in the same way the return for Phaneuf was. If they trade this pick and without a selection next year their core hardly changes. Getting some guys to make them a bubble team isn't going to entice Tavares to stay 3 years from now if he can see there's no growth and that they've done little in his time there. I'm pretty sure they're thinking more along the lines of Yakupov or E. Kane - a player in his prime or entering it that's going to play on the first line.
