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.

This is patently false. At the time of the trade Fosberg was widely regarded as one of the top NHL prospects. When the trade went down the entire hockey world responded with utter bewilderment. Dahlen by comparison does not appear on anyone's top-50 or top-60 rankings. In fact, according to Button's List
Dahlen is only the #5 ranked prospect in Ottawa's system.
