Depends how SJS would value Minten and Sandin. Minten is having a fantastic D+1 year and could be a considered a player that should have been drafted in the 1st round in hindsight. Sandin is a former 1st round pick that has really come into his own at the NHL level, is 22, is under control for a few more years, and is ready for a larger role on a team that can give it to him. If SJS values both players as 1st round talent, that is essentially two 1st round picks and a 2nd. But, once again, and I can't stress this enough, it is really dependent on how they are valued by SJS.
CHI might accept, though. McCabe w/ 50% retention for the 1st is probably fine, some might argue CHI should be getting a little more, but I would complain. And then you have Kerfoot and a 3rd for Lafferty, which, I don't see Kerfoot as a long term piece in the least bit, but he could be worth a look and a flip next year and helps us hit the cap floor. Lafferty is definitely worth a 3rd if not more. I think there is a slight discrepancy in value, but overally I wouldn't complain too much. Adding another 1st to the stockpile would be nice for the bigger picture.
