For a 26-27 year old elite goaltender I absolutely would give up a first round pick. I don’t understand your Monahan comparison. Monahan is a developed 1C who would return way more than a first round pick in the draft. Using your logic, would I trade Bennett for a Schneider level goalie just entering his prime? Yah, I would. But that’s not what Schneider was traded for. He was traded for the ninth overall pick in the draft, and the Devils absolutely won that trade.

I don't think you can say the Devils won that trade.
A top 10 pick is a huge asset that the Canucks used to draft Bo Horvat - a high core piece
I would say both teams did well with it. Win-win
