I love the idea of spreading picks across these next three years - so having two 1st rounders in each of 24, 25, 26 is awesome. Also, the TOR 1st is locked at 23rd OA, and there's a cost of opportunity when looking at it over the NJD pick. That NJD has a chance of being 11th-22nd - so I take that upside while also knowing you're going to have a full year to assess the 2025 draft while knowing you have two 1st round picks (most likely).

Theres also a chance (slim but still a chance) that the devils stumble and that pick ends up being an unprotected 2026. Any extra shots at the Mckenna draft are going to be near impossible to get. Similar to how difficult it was to get picks last year
