I don't think it's fair to compare this to the Baertschi trade. Yes, they were both traded for 2nd round picks. But the year Baertschi was traded it was a fairly strong draft. This season, a 2nd is probably equivalent to a 3rd in the 2015 NHL entry draft.
How many mid-round 3rd round picks from 2015 or 2016 would people take over Lazar? (Serious question, I haven't checked names)
