But, let's say we could have received one first found pick for Elias Lindholm, and nothing else, and one for Mikael Backlund, and nothing else, and both picks were teams in the 25-32 overall range.
Great. We got two first round picks.
Are we better now or in the near future? I would say no.

And trades like those are easier to just say than do. I think there are 4-5 legit contenders. TB, Boston, Colorado, NJD (maybe). You can add a name or two but the point's the same. Of those, only the Avs need a 2C, and if they really were hungry they'd have gone and gotten a Sam Bennett.
