Generally, I'm against trading picks for rentals.
I mis-read the question - thought it was asking what will happen, not what is worse for the franchise.

Well, they lost eight in a row last year and if you took that away they were 45-22-7 in their other games. A bad start would hurt but wouldn't necessarily be a death blow in my opinion.
As for what would be the worst thing, it would be finishing dead last then drafting 4th. No shame in barely missing the playoffs considering the team is still developing.
But I agree, with where the team is at I wouldn't trade picks for rentals no matter what. Not this season.
