Well why would they trade the a top 5 pick when they could potentially get any type of player they want?
The answer is they see a drop off talent in the first 4 picks (depending on what the other 3 teams pick) and they could get a decent package for it.
A lot depends on the prospects being offered. Yeah the injuries may hurt Valimaki's value, but they wanted him at one point recently.
