They deserve more, when you think about how their entire awesome 2nd line of Beauvilier - Barzal - Eberle was giftwrapped to them by the Oilers and 2/3 of that was due to us snatching up Hamilton from right underneath their noses. TheScore had a great piece on it.
Eberle got gifted straight up.
The 16th overall and 33rd overall picks were traded for Griffin Reinhart in the aftermath of us getting Dougie. The 16th overall pick was used to select Barzal, while the 33rd overall was used to trade up to 28th OA to select Beauvilier.
