For this trade to go through, the flames scouts pretty much had to say that there isn't anybody in the 2nd round this year that they feel could contribute to the team more than Lazar in our desired time frame.
I feel like if Lazar can anchor our 3rd line RW going forward, it would turn out to be a good trade for us.

This pretty much sums up this trade. I know nothing about what the second round of the 2017 draft will bring, so I'll side with the scouts on this one.
