Come on, we do it all the time. We got a 2026 3rd in the Zadorov trade. Vancouver looks to be finishing last this year and that 3rd will likely be 65th overall, which is "essentially a 2nd round pick". All things considered, as much criticizing as there was of the Zadorov trade, to come out with "essentially a 2nd round pick" makes that trade look pretty good overall.
Don't come at me saying technically a 3rd is just a 3rd. Nobody cares. Look at the bigger point being made.
