Hopefully they do better with the next set of players they trade.

Hronek is a more recent comparable and he returned:
Hronek (38 points in 60 games at the time of the trade)
4th round pick
For
Conditional 1st (worse of the Canucks 2 firsts)
2nd round Pick
So it's kind of in line with that...with the big issue being the 2nd is conditional and could be a 3rd instead of a guaranteed first.
So in the end it feels like it should have landed somewhere between a 1st and a 2nd (Hronek) and a 1st and 2 2nds (Lindholm/Chychrun)...so it's the 2nd being conditional that causes the trade to be underwhelming IMO
