More often than not, 1st round picks don't end up becoming career NHLers, let alone impact players, let alone superstar players.
The certainty of bringing in a young superstar like Gaudreau would be a very easy decision for a lot of teams. Especially when you add in the fact that he can literally increase the value of other players, something we've seen only very special players do. I don't think we'd be getting Shinkaruk for Granlund if he didn't have that stretch with Johnny. I don't think Hudler was really worth a 2nd and 4th round pick? Jooris probably shouldn't even be in the NHL, yet he just signed a deal with the Rangers.
You really think Treliving would have been fired for trading a 2016 1st instead of a 2015 1st? Most people thought the Flames would be a playoff team again last year . . .
I think you are completely off base.

Tkachuk and 2 2nds for Hamilton.... You're fired
Teams don't trade future 1st round picks..... Carey price could get hurt.
