My problem with that is that the difference between #1 and #9 is not = to Buff. Buff for the #1 I would do. Buff + #9 for #1 + something substantial I would do ... depending on the something substantial.
I look at the averages here over the last decade and beyond, say 10-15 years, if you will. I ask myself, would I trade Byfuglien + the average type of player with the 9th pick for a top 2 centre, as I firmly believe Bennett or Reinhart will be, and that is a big yes for me. I understand why some think it's too much, but it's a deal I would do at one of the games most key, important roles and positions. You don't need a legit superstar, ask Boston (Krejci / Bergeron). Legit centres are hard to find and acquire when you are looking for them. I would personally be very comfortable with Scheifele and Reinhart. But, that's just me.
