I get that, and I also know that #1 picks get more slack than they often deserve because of their high billing, but non-roster players and retained salary to a team as deep as the Chicago Blackhawks...

That really is like winning a lottery.

And getting traded from Edmonton to Chicago? Thats like winning a lottery for Yakupov.
