My preference would have been Virtanen, but if it was the nyi pick you have to take Del Colle. Ritchie would have been nice as well

Can't say about Carolina, but there is no way the other 2 give up those picks. The Islanders gave up their 2015 first to keep this one, why give it up, even for those assets you mention?
As for Toronto, they tanked hard to get that 8th spot, again I don't see them taking Wideman/Hudler, a prospect and a 2nd in return for their first, especially not when they were trying to trade up to #1 yesterday.
Don't get me wrong, I'd have loved to add a 2nd top 10 pick, but I just think the price we'd have had to pay to get one(if indeed any of them were even available) would have been worth the return.
