It depends. If you offer sheet Point, chances are you will contend for a playoff spot. So say that you sign Point at the cost of four first round picks, roughly in the early to mid 20’s.
Would you trade Svech, Cholowski, Mantha and Veleno today for Point? I personally would.
That is a worthwhile gamble for a great, young player imo. I would never fault anyone who feels otherwise though.
the thing is fine lets say maybe the Wings picks would be around 20 with Point but without him all of a sudden they're around 10
yeah the other team might be "getting" four picks around 20 but in the world where they didn't have Point the Wings picks would be around 10 so that's the real opportunity cost here
meanwhile in this hypothetical world with Point the Wings are a bubble Playoff team with no real path forward because the defense still sucks and they don't even have a first for the foreseeable future
