I'm more OK dealing away a 1st for a stud Vezina caliber goalie than most here probably would be. It's a pretty big hole right now, and the last piece needed to become a legit contender, and also:
Our top 4 scoring forwards are all 24 or younger, and we have 3 D in our top 6 that are 21 years old and all look like they''l be 1st or 2nd pairing Dmen for a long time.
Hate to not have 1st rounder for two years in a row, but the core is young and good, they need a legit goalie in his prime behind them.
