That is 2/7 traded away, or 3/11.
If you are counting trading down to recoup other picks that should be the opposite, as it is trading for the future, by getting more picks.

Look I'm sorry man but Schnieder is already one of the most valuable prospects in the NHL and on the verge of becoming a 21 year old impact NHLer, RHD.
Basically what we were missing when we lost these playoffs.
We can say it's too early to tell and whatever, but the writing's on the wall when Schnieder, a D, beats Zary, a forward, to the NHL and makes big contributions to boot.
Let's not even pretend we don't know what the value is of an effective 20 year old RHD NHLer, and what the projection/ceiling is on that.
No need for a rant, it's more than a valid count, and looks a little worse each year.
