I understand that I am making it sound like a bigger deal than it really is though, so I will stop beating this horse and just hope for the best. Maybe he'll win me over.

Its not assuming you are botching the pick though. Its almost random at this point. So its really just roling the dice. By having extra picks we were able to buy some tickets and get certainty. Put everything into the lottery and ignore team building and you end up like the oilers.
Where this trade might not be a good deal is if there is someone as good as Bolig who we could have gotten as a UFA on an overpaid 2x2mil deal as we do have cap space to use as an asset. I dont know enough about fourth line players to evaluate what the market for them but two GMs just traded 3rd round picks for them.
