It's too vague a statement for me.Do you mean as he did by trading a late first rounder and an early 2nd rounder as he did with Newhook or, when you say a YOUNG, PROVEN, NHL PLAYER, do you mean as part of a larger package to land one of those?
Who is your target for such a trade?
If it's player like Zegras, I honestly wonder what it would take to land him and that will determine whether it is worth the risk.
If not, whom?
I think that landing Zegras will cost both the WIN and the CALO 1st rounders, plus a player like Barron, Beck or Roy.
I personally wouldn't do it.
I'd rather try to move up at the draft in the hopes selecting one of Helenius, Brandsegg-Nygard, Sennecke or, even, Boisvert, beyond the top-10.
I'd also try to move up from the CAL (FLA, really), next season, maybe packaging that pick with unpick-- if it lands outside the top-10 -- to get back within the top-10, even if it costs an interesting prospect as well.
I believe there is more value in choosing two out of Demidov, Lindstrom, or Iginla, plus one of Catton, Eiserman, Connelly, Sennecke, Helenius, Brandsegg-Nygard, Hague, Greentree, or Boisvert this year, whichever we can get through moving up, plus moving back within the top-10 at next year's draft.
