I would also use the opportunity to get rid of my detritus. If you want, McDavid you have to take Lucic too.

I honestly wouldn't do it for that kind of cost, and I would consider having to take Lucic an insult.
If I'm giving up my best young center and best young blueliner for example, and lets say they're very good, dumping them to bring in Connor doesn't make me a stronger team, then adding in 2 first round picks probably handicaps me even more.
I'm just not sure that the juice is worth the squeeze. Plus if a GM told me that I had to basically take on Lucic's deal, I would be like all Dragon's den with the I'm out, I'll just finish ahead of you in the standings.
