This trade was possible because jt took MacKinnon with his first pick, and followed it up with another extreme-value contract with his second. I would be curious to know what the original Panarin owner's first two-four picks were. jt, could you fill us in? I would guess that he took on a few heavy contracts, and then had to pay a hefty price for not planning ahead. I bet that you are extremely happy that you went MacKinnon/Huberdeau with your first two picks. Well done!
This spawns a second debate: McDavid OR Panarin, Boqvist, Veleno, and $4 million?
You'd have to add in the other players drafted to really asses this trade. You can't just say McDavid vs this group until you put in all the assets because clearly other players were drafted at a similar time as the non-Panarin part.
