The pick in the 2003 pick is a bit more valuable then a 1st in this years pick.

Boyes, as a 21 year old, is STILL in the AHL. Vermette has cracked the Ottawa lineup at the same age, and is worth more. Nolan was also NOT a rental player, but was in fact a more long term acquisition by the Leafs, who still, IMHO, gave up too much for him.
We shall see what needs to be given up to get him soon enough, but more teams need defensemen than wingers, which puts Ottawa in a much better spot than Toronto (especially since we don't even really need a winger).
