Nope. Look at each trade in isolation.
The Tkachuk trade was a complete win. No need to turn around and spend that 1st like it’s burning a hole in your pocket.
I’m not sure id want to trade a 1st for 7 years of Kadri at $7M to be honest.
The whole point of overpaying a UFA is there is no acquisition cost, giving up a 1st kind of defeats that point.
The opportunity cost of a 1st is huge and I think it probably could have been used more effectively for a different asset.
