You need to be able to trade some of the pieces you draft for younger pieces and picks.
Ask too much now and other GMs will return the favour when you’re in a bind post draft and need to move some bodies.

I do think Francis has overplayed his hand a bit. For some of the teams that had two or three players that the Kraken liked on the unprotected list, they could have essentially ended up with both a pick and a player that they liked had they negotiated in good faith with the other team. It may have been a second or a couple of third round picks but it is better to have a player + additional assets than just a player. They probably could have done this with several teams and still iced a team that they liked.
