You're saying you can't assess a trade involving picks without knowing who would have been picked?
I don't see it that way.
A second for Kiprusoff is an extreme example of a good trade.
A third for Bollig is an example of a bad trade.
Picks have value and while it's subjective, you can certainly make your own conclusion as to the relative values of the players/picks involved.
Slice and dice it all you want. Did trading away picks weaken the team's prospect pipeline? I'd say yes, as expected.
Did it improve the big league roster to the extent you'd like it to? I'd say no.
