LMAO - hey, they always tell people to dream big........no harm in dreaming.

Essentially close to a late first in value the trade they made with the rangers... sooo

They got a 2nd and 4thand had to retain 50% salary, that is nothing like a 1st LOL

the quality in prospect after the first 15~ picks is almsost the same.
a 25th overall is just pretty much the same as a 33rd

You said a 1st....they didn't get that. Not to mention the Rangers pick will equally be late in the second round, The draft stats drop off after round 1 on success, stop trying to play strawman fallacy - it wasn't a 1st round it was a bottom of the barrel 2nd rounder.
