My take is that I would appreciate a trade where we still got a prospect or NHL player, but also moved back in the first round. Probably unlikely to get both a serviceable NHL talent now and a 1st round pick, though.
We still need to build our organizational depth overall. Center is the only position where I feel we have reasonable organizational depth, but even then, it is built on the expectations of some unknown players.
My feeling is that #7 seems like it will be a reach on a player (the value of the pick number will be higher than the player value there, in a manner of speaking). Whereas at #20, there will be some excellent value available there. In a way, I would rather trade the #7 pick than the #20 pick - both will take 2-4 years before we see a return, but as rt has stated before, the #7 pick is where we really start to magnify the warts on players. I mentioned this for Sergachev in earlier posts, but the same applies to any one of Brown, Chychrun, Nylander, McLeod, and Juolevi - I don't necessarily hate any of them at #7, but I don't love any of them at #7 either. If we were at pick #10 or #11, while quite a few of those players would be gone, I would feel much happier with Chychrun at #10 than at #7 (insert any one of those names in that case)
