The 2015 draft had GM and scouts saying that the 1st and 2nd rounds were really good and then it drops after that when you get mid-way through the 3rd round. They said that the 2016 draft was better then the 2015 draft. This year I am hearing that it isn't as good after the first 10 guys are gone.
The reason the Flames got Dougie Hamilton, they were giving up 3 picks in the first 2 rounds in a relatively good draft. They were able to get Rasmus Anderson in the second round as well and moved up to get Kylington.
The 2016 draft was so deep in talent that you had alot of trades at the trade deadline for rental players that commanded 2nd and 3rd round picks.
Would I trade 2015 or 2016 2nd rounder for Lazar? No.
I would trade 2017 2nd rounder for Lazar.
