(B) If you are set on trading those picks and really wanted to go for it, it turns out you could have added Stastny and Kane and still had a 2nd left. Picks are currency and you certainly could have done better than a mediocre defenseman, especially given the D depth we already have

(C) If things go really ill, Treliving will forever be known as the idiot that traded Niedermayer for Kurvers and added 2 2nd round picks for good measure.
You are wrong for a few simple reasons:

(A) You completely disregarded the actual percentages.

(B) Statsny and Kane were rentals

(C) The lottery didn't exist in 1990
