And picks are exactly that. Picks. There is no guarantee those turn into NHL players.

Yeah, so as a team in the midst of a rebuild, you throw as many handfuls of sh*t at the wall as you can, and hope some sticks. By doubling the number of picks we have in the first few rounds of a supposedly good draft, you've probably helped your team. Bottom line.
What would you have preferred Treliving trade for this deadline? Good roster players who can help the team now? You saw the prices being paid. Tree did exactly the right thing (especially given the Gio injury) by standing pat and accumulating assets.
