He wouldn't speculate on anything to come.
Here's the things I took from it totally paraphrasing after the fact.
-Talked about of course you'd prefer prospects because they don't take as long as picks to come to fruition. In the end this was the best deal in terms of value.
-Talked about how the value of the 2nd rounder we just acquired goes up and up as we get closer to the draft and at the draft itself whether you choose to trade it or pick with it
-Talked about how great Russell is, how you win with him, how he's a good player. Talked about how good players go for good returns. Basically hinting we should get good value for him without really directly saying that.
I do think some fans underestimate how valuable 2nd rounders are. I think a 2nd rounder can get us a 2nd line winger in terms of trade value.
