If we're picking outside of the top 5, then Sven isn't terrible value cause there is a fair drop off after that, but even then something like a 3rd should be coming back IMO. But if we're picking from the top group, no way in hell would trading Sven be good value. Only a late 1st, for me.
If Ekblad turns out to be bottom pairing material and we gave up a top 6 player in Sven as well as someone like Bennett or Dal Colle who could end up being impact players themselves, we'll feel pretty stupid.
I think Ekblad will be better than that. But he's not as sure a thing as Jones.
But of course we can go back and forth with that game all day.
