My concern as solely based on your notion that CBJ would be stupid to consider trading the 3rd pick away for a package consisting of:

6th
26th or w/e the Dallas pick is
1st next year
Young Prospect (I think you said Jankowski)
Backlund
2nd rounder(s)

I don't consider the above a FAR reach in terms of overpayment (its definitely an overpayment), considering Puljaarvi hasn't even shown us anything @ an NHL level yet where as you know what you're getting in Backlund, you're getting 3 1st round picks and a Prospect with significant development at the center ice position none the less, coupled with multiple 2nd round picks... Yikes.

If the above trade proposition doesn't at least get CBJ to pickup the phone and consider then the CBJ are out to lunch and may as well be slumped into the EDM category you seem to agree upon as part of the "not a f_n clue" how to manage a hockey team.
The #6OA, next year's 1st, and 2 2nds is MASSIVE overpayment. Massive.

And you guys are talking about adding Jankowski and Backlund as well?

FFS, just stop.
