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.
I actually don’t blame Brad for not budging on what was likely a high ask for Lindholm or any of the 2024 UFA’s. Might as well play hardball than accept whatever you can just to make a trade. The big decision regarding those 2024 UFA’s will be made either this summer or by next year’s trade deadline
