A 7th OA pick is generally a top 6/top 4 player that is going to give your team 7-10 years at a below market contract.
So from that standpoint, it seems like a high acquisition cost for a 6.5m cap hit player who is in (or even past) his prime years and a goalie who hits UFA next year.
That said, Arizona starts to look quite competitive all of a sudden.
