When the trade of Erat for Forsberg happened it looked unlikely that Forsberg would become as good as he has.

The point is that at the time of the trades their performance in their draft and draft + 1 seasons were very similar, that is the only comparisons people are making.
And it's as useless / futile as it is laughable. It's beyond a long shot, and indicative of that fanbase being starved for something to feel hopeful / excited about.
