Lindholm is no bust and Coronato doesn't seem to be. How do you figure that it's not the value of four first round picks?

This is an absurd argument, but IMO Jarmo yells start the car on this.
It's a known value 16OA pick this year, so it's really trading down 13 spots - still a solid pick in this highly touted draft. And assuming no/light protections on the 2024 1st, from a team who missed the playoffs and is trading away one of their best (if not the best) forward, so it could easily be a top 10 pick.
3OA is a very valuable asset, especially in a highly touted draft, but you don't have to look at much history to see it's far from a sure bet. In the amazing 2003 draft 3OA = Nathan Horton. In Crosby's year it was Jack Johnson. In McDavid's year it was Dylan Strome.
Historically there is a pretty huge drop from 20A to 3OA, perhaps this year is different, but it's still anything but a guarantee.
