On the one hand you want us to keep the 1st. But on the other hand the 1st rounder might be one of the best assets we have to try and acquire another Lindholm. So shouldn't you be hoping we trade our 1st for another core forward?

That trade is an anomaly in the NHL though, the majority of impact players are usually drafted and developed not traded for. We also gave up a huge piece in Hamilton for him so it wasn’t nearly as effective as it would’ve been if we drafted and developed Lindholm.
