With Sham's drafting, you could trade a dozen assets for all the defence and Euros you need! That said, the major flaw in methodology (which was noted in the Canucks Army comments) was the restriction on taking the highest scoring forward between that pick, and Vancouver's next selection. It is understandable why they did it though - having to chose the highest scoring out of all available picks would have taken forever. But, that restriction makes the methodology useless when looking forward in time.

The flip side, of course, is that we also know via the Oilers that choosing the highest ranked available player according to The Hockey News doesn't work either.
