I'm all for trading Risto and Laughton, they're 30, they won't be around in 3 years in any case.
You want a team entirely composed of players 25 and under, go root for Buffalo.
You want a few "keystone" veterans for a young team.
It's not that they might not get a good player with the late 1st they'd have gotten for TK, but it's extremely unlikely they'd get a 1st line forward, or at best, one that will reach that level before 2030 (when he'd be 24).
