Why receive a 1st ? Both player AAV is 6M

LOL you are correct, I am very greedy. I do not know why but Okposo must be in Housley "Dog House", because he makes good plays but does not get quality minute. IMO playing with either McDavid or Draisaitl will bring back Kyle's scoring touch.
BTW, I have to hold my nose to take Lucic with the first. If I made this trade, he would spend the entire year in the press box, or I would just tell him to never come to the ice rink, nor associate with any of the players on the team.

BTW, look at this trade, a second and PoolParty is worth more than a first.

If Granlund doesn't require compensation why would Vancouver take Scandella???

thank you for your comment.
I have seen several VAN posts with this trade, I guess I should mentioned one of them. The plan is to trade for him, but after the trade if I sign him for more than the minimum the program will automatically take the appropriate draft picks. I hope this answer makes sense.

If you select his rights in the trade, when you go to sign him it will say acquired and wont subtract picks

I fundamentally disagree with the quote "I do not know why but Okposo must be in Housley "Dog House", because he makes good plays but does not get quality minute".

Okposo makes some of the worst decisions with the puck and turns the puck over in the offensive zone a hell of a lot. He somewhat reminds of how Tyler Ennis used to enter the zone with the puck and curl buck when he hit a faceoff dot. Except Okposo is eating 6m and wont fetch a good return as it stands.

Lucic is worse than Okposo, has the same contact and we have to add a 1st? No thank you

So, if I sit Lucic as I have said above, it is not worth a first round pick?

Thank you very much, it was not straight forward, and it worked really well.
