wow I didn't see this ACGM back then but I wouldn't do this at all.
Remove the first round picks... Would you do Greig + Pinto for Caufield?
Caufield might not become as good as DeBrincat but he will score a bunch of goals too
Adding a Top-7 pick and a most likely Top-16 pick on top of it to get the proven player. It's a really HUGE price. Can't remember the last time a NHL player was traded for that much. That's 4 HIGH END pieces, each worth more than the regular "first round pick"
The Karlsson's trade return ended up big because the first round pick (expected late by most, except me!) became a 3rd OA pick.
Even Eichel returned significantly less.
