"But Tanner Jeannot got a first"
Yeah, at 2025 conditional first. And he's an $800K 25 year old player on an expiring contract who had a rough year but scored 41 points the year before. Name me a Flame who sounds like that.

Jeannot was a ridiculous overpayment too.
But I wouldn't say any of the other moves made me go "Woah". Meier return was kinda meh, same with Chychrun.
IMO it's not necessarily that the returns have been overpayments (outside of Jeannot), just more that the volume of moves, and the volume of 2023 1sts moved has been surprising.
But really I'm not sure there has been a deal yet where multiple future 1st round picks have been moved. The market value has kind of been 2023 1st plus some pieces.
