The base assumption for his trade is that the two first will be late (20+ selection) and the "good prospect" will be coming from one of the weaker prospect pools in the league.
In the case of a team like Anaheim who has a strong prospect system and picks reliably inside the top 20, the picks would need to be more significantly protected (think top 18 or 20 protected), or one would need to be downgraded to a 2nd, and Arizona would not be receiving one of our top prospects. For example, ANA 23 2nd, ANA 24 1st (lotto protected) and a lesser prospect than Zellweger, such as Lacombe, or someone outside/at the bottom of the Ducks top 10 prospects list.
