Contenders deal picks for a reason.
As good as that roster was prior to the trade, do the Jets make the conference final without Stastny going a point per game in the playoffs?

And the Flames added Hamonic last year.
There is no single formula or timeframe for these things. You're being as rigid and close-minded as you were on the flip side when the Flames made trades to acquire players.
It's a balance. They have done a great job of stocking the roster. Now it is time to restock to prospect roster.
