And that such a deal would have to wait until after the draft lottery to determine what those picks are worth. It's hilarious how things get snatched up and distorted on this forum.

You put forward a trade proposal that had very little thought put into it, some people disagreed and stated why. Odd thing to get upset over. Nothing was snatched up and it certainly wasn't distorted.
Okay sure, you're adding some 1st round swap idea, but the Penguins aren't in a huge position to do that considering they don't know the fate of their 1st round picks this season or next due to the Kessel trade.
Murray is equal to a guy like Gilles IMO, further ahead? Yeah probably, but only due to Jon being hurt this year. Anything involving the Flames first is a massive overpayment.
