NFL rosters have 53 players, careers are short, and the draft is 7 rounds. Most teams have 4-5 drafted players on their roster every year. The feeder system is bigger and the players are older. So getting more picks will work well.
NHL finding players is harder, so I don't think trading back in the first round will always work out. Really moving your 28-29 year olds for picks might be the better strategy.
