#AssetManagement Toronto edition
Here is Toronto's trade history of 1st rounders and add-ons since 2019
2019 - Grundstrom (2nd) Durzi (2nd) 1st round pick (22nd OA) for Muzzin
2020 - gave away 13OA (Seth Jarvis) to get rid of the Marleau contract
2021 - traded away 25OA (Corson Ceulemans) to acquire Noesen and Foligno... both no longer with the TML
2022 - gave away to get rid of Mrazek contract... did get back a 2nd round pick (Fraser Minten) who had a very meh season and very underwhelming playoff as a D+1 player.
2023 - traded away 25OA (Otto Stenberg) to acquire Ryan O'Reilly who signed with the Preds as a UFA.
2024 - still owned by the TML but will probably have to attach it to Murray to trade away that boat anchor of a contract
2025 - traded away with other prospects to acquire Jake McCabe and Sam Lafferty
the Leafs have traded away 6 first round picks for 1 playoff series win and only have McCabe and Lafftery left to show for it.- Show previous comments 14 more

Honestly I feel like Jarvis is worth more than that entire list, and he was drafted at #14. Grundstrom is nothing special, Durzi just got traded for a song. Ceulemans is young but hasn't really done enough to put himself on the radar and Stenberg is still a shiny toy.
It's not easy to get difference makers from late picks. It makes me wonder if Gillis had been more aggressive and traded away the picks that eventually became Schroeder, Gauce, Jensen, Rodin etc.

@Toews That's *always* been my position. Not the argument put forth by a number here that "Gillis traded away too many picks". He didn't go 'all in" enough (imho). Kind of opposite the problem of Benning who dealt away too many picks and not made enough attempts to acquire more picks to play to the strength of his management (drafting).
