Maybe Dorion is telling the truth about a 1st round pick not being very good in this draft....The top is stacked, but I would be curious about how people feel about prospects ranked in the 15th-40th type range.
I don't really see the issue for Montreal with this trade, they basically got a 1st round talent without having to wait out or take a risk on the development. Newhook is 22, and if he is in their middle 6 for the next 5-8 years, that is good value considering the kind of play you'd expect to get in this range of the draft.
I think from an optics POV this return looks like more than it is because of the first round pick tag. In reality, if this was 33+37, less people would see it as an overpayment. despite 33 and 31 being basically the same except one is called a 1st round pick.
