Then add 3 more years to see if you have a player from it, maybe 4. This is a ~5 year investment. That isn't planning for now, this is planning for 2030. Decent chance the front office won't even see the fruits of their labor, coaching staff will have changed, perhaps twice.

This is way better IMO. I don't expect TBL to fall off anytime soon, but you never know. TBL has top 10 protected their '24 and '25 picks when they traded them so you'd expect the same here, but if that happens then the subsequent year tends to be completely unprotected.
The hockey gods owe us one, particularly at TB's expense!
