Personally I’m not a fan of this approach until you are at the point where your prospect pool is one of the top in the league and you are getting guys for a championship push.
And yes, some of these trades have been downright awful no matter the situation. Atleast after this off season most of the debts from these trades will have been paid off.

Your characterization was that they have traded a ton of picks for the bottom of the roster
I think that’s inaccurate.
Most of the picks were used to acquire top of the roster guys including number one goalies. Didn’t work out but it isn’t like they went out and dealt a ton of picks for fourth liners
