The thing is that you'd have to evaluate Trevor Kidd independently without considering Martin Brodeour as part of the equation.
Kidd actually was a starter for 3 ish years and was a key piece in a deal to get J.S. Giguere. So what was a player like that worth?
Had the Flames stayed put at 21, we don't know what would have happened. What we do know is that the Flames moved up to take Kidd, and was Kidd a good enough player that you could say was worth moving into the 11th spot in the draft to pick?
The likely answer in this case is no...but I think that's the sort of thing that analytics types would be looking to evaluate here.
