Really slow news day on New Year's Day so here's something to mull over:

The New York Rangers' first-round pick went to the New York Islanders as the result of a trade on June 27, 2014 that sent the Islanders and Montreal's second-round picks both in 2014 (35th and 57th overall) to Tampa Bay in exchange for this pick.

What if we sent our 2 2nd round picks in 2014 (used to pick Mason McDonald and hunter smith) to TB for that 1st (28th overall) instead of making our picks? Our selections were actually earlier than the picks nyi traded so imagine a deal was there. Players that were picked before McDonald and this pick were as follows

Josh Ho-Sang
Adrian Kempe
John Quenneville
Brendan Lemieux
Jayce Hawryluk
Ivan Barbashev

What of these players would you rather have instead of McDonald/Smith? Did Treliving make the right call by holding onto the picks?
