By the time you get to the middle of the first round, lists vary greatly.
I doubt the Flames had better than a 15% chance of picking the same guy.
A second round pick in a certain draft has that value based on the strength of that draft. It's not like you don't know what draft you've traded a pick in.
And the value of drafts tend to differ more at the top end. Once you get into the 2nd round, most drafts are pretty much the same.
