If we're at the stage where we are recouping 2nd round picks, it probably means we are selling parts of our roster because of failure. There just isn't any excess assets to spare to recoup those picks imo. Outside of 'the untouchables' (ie Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Backlund, Tkachuk, Hamilton, Giordano, Brodie and Hamonic), we don't have many players with a lot of value. A guy like Frolik could go for some picks but that would be a step backward. Maybe Stajan could go for a 4th? There's really not a lot there outside of our prospects and it makes little sense to deal them for picks unless you're pretty sure the kid will bust.
