I don't think it's a value issue per se.
It's the fact that top 10 picks in a year where there is 9 players that look quite good are rarely traded, as the value of a budding potential star with lots of control and cheap years is pretty enticing in a cap world.
If Calgary is truly rebuilding, they should jump on these trades, as it's a chance to build a potentially elite core of players.
Marky and Rasmus will be gone in 2 years. What then?
