If the 1st rounders were guaranteed in the 15-20 range I'd say the trade was fair but, the picks will almost for sure be in the 1-10 range both years which is way too much to lose for a rebuilding team like Chicago
The SanJose trade wouldn't be necessary if you slightly changed the Arizona deal McBain and Ingram for Samsonov, Jarnkrok and the 1st rounder seems fair IMO
It frees up 1+mil in space for Toronto after Timmins comes back and you still have some picks if you decide to retool the defense or goaltending later in the year
