Tampa is not far out of the playoffs, their pick could end up being a playoff pick and they could go a d’un (as could anyone). Colorado’s pick is next year, so they could get better or worse, that’s still to be seen. I don’t see how a 2019 2nd is different than 2018 other than the unpredictability, but I don’t think these picks are much different.
Claesson and Jooris can both fill a role on the Rangers for the next few years as they will need depth and they fit the bill.
I was on the fence about the last deal, but I think this deal is a definite pass
