Saad, Kubalik, Dach, Alexis Laffy, Murphy, Maatta, Shaw, De haan #13 pick overall, 2nd, 3rd and 4th round pick
and we get back
Quin Hughes, Jack Hughes, Jesper Boqvist, William Nylander, Ryan Strome and a 2nd and 3rd round pick.
You've got to be kidding me!
Alexis Laffy > W. Nylander
Dach > Jack Hughes
Saad > Jesper Boqvist
Kubalik > Ryan Strome
Shaw, Maatta, Murphy, De Haan + #13 pick OA and 4th rounder < Quinn Hughes
That's about what it boils down to. With the #1OA pick, the only acquisition target that makes sense is Quinn hughes and not at the cost of Kubalik or Dach so will never happen.
