It should turn your head a little because its an asset we didn’t have before.
We are low on assets to make this team better because at every deal we pay maximum value or don’t receive it. Had to pay two first rounders to get Ekholm (Schaefer and 2023). Had to pay Caleb Jones and 3rd round pick to get a 38 year old 5.5M Duncan Keith who only would waive his NMC for 3 teams. Had to pay Zack Kassian over 3M for 4 years because he scored well for half a season with 97. Had to pay a 1st 2nd and 3rd rounder to get rid of Kassian to Arizona.
This is a microcosm of management’s overall failure in asset management.

And I agree the Keith deal was garbage. It was at the time, and it is still a bad deal to this day. Kassian deal was bad at the start and how it ended up too. Maybe this is not the best case scenario, but it is an improvement over the past and it should be recognized as such, otherwise what is the point? Acknowledge improvements and see if they continue to get better. So far it has been trending up, and there is a change up top coming.
In addition, considering teams have drafted players as token picks in the past the 6th and 7th round picks are nothing but a lottomax ticket, a lot better than the 1 in 33M, but you catch my drift.
I would rather those prospects spots be filled with college free agents than picks, and lots of times a player ranked that low could go undrafted and be picked up as a free agent anyways.

I think it's worth noting, the 6th or 7th round pick is the same lotto shot for the Red Wings, so getting them to include it in the deal so that you have SOMETHING to show for it shouldn't be the hardest of conversations.
Drafting someone doesn't take up a contract spot - it just gives you the rights to him, and sometimes those guys develop. I agree, the team should be looking at multiple avenues for prospect acquisition, but we have very, very few draft picks this year, so having one more would certainly not have hurt. Hell, even push it out a couple years, but getting ANYTHING back is preferable to getting zero for a guy who scores at about a 35-40-point pace over the last three seasons plus an RFA who was a useful 4th liner last year.
