Just stop.
We know the ask is a first, top prospect and young player.
1st, Peterka/Savoie/Kulich, Mittelstadt maybe?
While i get what you’re saying,
this proposed trade actually has the value of three 1sts for Meier imo
1- Rosen, picked 14th overall 2 drafts ago & developing nicely in his 1st AHL season = 1st round value
2- Philly 2nd, will be high in the round + Asplund + Portillo is a good young goalie prospect = 1st round value
*don’t see any reason Portillo wouldn’t sign with SJ, as he wouldn’t be stuck behind UPL & Levi like he is here
3- Vegas 2nd, will be low in the round, but it’s + Johnson- who is a good defenseman prospect who was picked in the 1st himself
*again, no reason for Johnson not to sign in SJ, as he wouldn’t be stuck with a ceiling of 3rd pair minutes behind Dahlin, Power & Samuelsson
So no, you don’t get that “1st”
But this is actually better value than what you’re proposing above
