that's the value.
Historically the 15th pick has a 38% chance of playing 100 NHL games.
They got a 21 year old that had already played 200 games.

It would probably be better to look at a range like 10-20 within the past 15 years or so as drafts can vary from year to year.
Personally, I think adding the two 2nd rounders negates the risk for the Bruins. Out of those 3 picks, there is a really good chance that at least one pans out. Until those picks show fruition, I think the trade is a win for Treliving because less risk like you said, but not the home run most others do.
