But we also don't give up our 2nd in that scenario, so it's basically a 1st or two 2nds. It's not even worth thinking about Pitts missing the playoffs twice, and if Kessel did make them worse I'd feel bad enough for them that it wouldn't bother me too much.
How about THIS scenario for creating outrage though:
- Leafs finish last, so the pick going to PIT is #31
- PIT wins the cup, so the pick we get is #30
Kessel helps lead them to the cup and in return we move up one spot.
PIT got their second back (that we got in the Winnik deal). We still have our 2016 second.
