See:
Ben Bishop -> 2nd rounder on one deal, a young blooming forward Conacher in another deal
Anders Lindback -> Two 2nd rounders and a 3rd rounder
Mike Smith -> Part of the return for #1 center Brad Richards
Semyon Varlamov -> 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick
Jaroslav Halak -> Prospects Lars Eller and Ian Schultz
...and probably very soon, Jonathan Bernier.

This is a pretty silly argument.
Should I list all of the skaters that have played above their draft position in later rounds and got big returns in trades? The list is much, much longer...
