Having the best chance to re-sign Gaudreau at a painful cap hit isn't that valuable of an aspect of the trade...exploiting his AAV for the next 2 years if the true value.
It certainly wasn't the perceived/expected value of those picks at the time.

There is always going to be differences when hunting for comparable trades, no two trades are identical.
Having Carter signed for 12 more years really did Columbus a lot of good, didn't it?
