I disagree about the 2nd round pick though. Mystery Box traded for a Mystery Box we already know isn't going to be a high end player.

While there can be an argument as to the value of a 2nd round pick, this comparison is inaccurate and misleading for a few reasons. Firstly, we don't know he won't amount to a high end player. A lot of high end players were late bloomers. It's unlikely, but hardly definitive one way or the other. Secondly, a 2nd round pick will likely not play nearly as many games or put up as many points in the NHL as Lazar has, this is just a statistical fact (as has been pointed out previously). So it's more like we traded: A mystery box that will likely be empty, but might not be for an opened mystery box that has been proven to be better than an empty mystery box.
