I think particularly the 2016 draft made it possible for Treliving to deal picks.
I don't mean to be a downer, but I don't think Lindstrom, Tuulola, Phillips, or Ruzicka are prospects with a legitimate chance of impacting our NHL roster, yet. I'd say that they are all pretty run of the mill prospects that every team has an abundance of.

Your point still stands though, that grabbing Parsons, Dube, Fox, Andersson, Kylington, and Mangiapane, outside of the 1st round over the course of 2 drafts, is looking like a couple of grand-slams.
