It doesn't work like that though. A second round pick has potential to be more, you can't use the average. It average is what counts, then they'd be tossed around everywhere. Late 1sts aren't great on average so they'd be tossed in for depth players.

The odds of a mid to late 2nd round pick playing 100 NHL games is between 25-30%
And despite what people believe, very few actual stars come from these picks.
2nd rounders are thrown around. 13 2nd round picks have been traded this season! As well as 5/7 last picks in round 1!!!
So of the late 1st and 2nd rounds, 18/37, or 48% were traded this season.
