Not making the playoffs didn't result in their having a "top 5" pick though (they had picks 10, 13 and 14)
I don't think star players are traded just for picks very often (does it ever happen?)
IMO every draft pick for 3 years (so maybe a few/handful of decent picks that might work out, in the future) is well below the value of Victor Hedman, Aaron Ekblad and Nikolaj Ehlers
