Baseball works differently. Teams don't trade first round picks, and the league is structured differently.
However, we'd be getting two top assets. And I think it's very questionable whether Beecher is a first round caliber asset to begin with. I wouldn't have picked him in the first round. I think the first round pick this year is probably more valuable than Beecher. Usually, teams want the prospect to be more valuable than the late first. I don't care as much about the second prospect or conditional pick that McKenzie was mentioning yestesrday. If I'm Gorton, I'm not trading Kreider for anything less than Studnicka, Kyrou, Newhook, McMichael from those four teams that are said to be interested in Kreider. The Islanders trade is harder. I'm not sure how that would work. I think it'd probably cost more, and even if thats Dobson, RHD is the one area where we don't have a need.
