There's a reason it isn't done anymore. GM's are more likely to trade a known commodity and pick then an unknown.

Look at what happened with Toronto and Kessel/Seguin.

With an unknown pick it makes placing value very hard for both sides of the equation, and the risk on both sides is extremely high.

They also left out a lot of the details on HOW Montreal did it. It wasn't just a smart GM.
