I thought about this, and worried a bit. Then thought a bit more on their options.
Keep the pick and draft this hot shot kid. They have a 3 year ELC to make it work. Given cap structure and expected reduction of cap they have to move out lots of bodies to make room.
Trade the pick. Now this seems smart, but for what? More picks? Players. Lets talk about stud D-men or Forwards that produces now AND will move to Edmonton for a oh so lock on a cup. Remember at the no trades out there.
So if this comes to pass they are totally taking the player. Which maybe great but again their against the cap, the cap isn’t going up and they have 3 years total to make this work.
So even the best outcome isn’t really that great due to bad management.
