Pro tip huh? So you're a professional tipster? Seems like poor value by the following:

Can't speak to Vancouver, but the Jackets' big needs are quality centers and to not waste cap. We've got a lot of quality prospects already. So a 1st is nice, but not strictly a need. Roz's term is sufficiently short enough that it might work for the Jackets regardless, but it's not a no-brainer.

Or maybe you can actually formulate something tangible stating otherwise? Like who exactly offers them what?
Multiple times folks have offered high 2nds and adds for Roz

I'm not saying that your offer is a bad one. It's actually a fairly strong proposal. It's just not a no-brainer and you're not doing a good job of defending it.
