Also they cant give contracts to all those picks, so they pretty much have to deal some of them.
Add in that the new owner is pretty likely going to want to make a big splash and get the hype machine going, it all adds up to SL being really busy around and at the draft.

Yeah, I think they need to trade some of those picks. You get diminishing returns if your prospect system is overloaded with too many bodies at the same age. There is only so much ice-time and spots available to develop them properly.
I suspect they try to re-sign their RFAs and most of their UFAs. I doubt they brought all those players to SLC to introduce them to the fans just to let half of them walk before the season even starts.
