Lemieux is fine but probably a 3rd/4th liner in the NHL.

The 1st round pick will be late.

Its not a slaughter or anything... its a fair deal.
You left out the part where they did all of that with a player that didn't want to play for them and that they, quite frankly, didn't want around anymore.

Also, when did first rounders become marginal assets if they are late?
