It would seem to me if you can get a 21 year old Lance Bouma with a second round pick making a minimal salary, you would think it'd be considered a win.

Yeah that's nice.
Now track for me all of the returns GMs got in that time for trading a second round pick.
Generally a second round pick can fetch a pretty decent player in return.
Sutter used to pull that off with regularity. Rene Bourque, now there's a great trade for a second round pick.
I don't know why you'd want to set the bar at Lance Bouma as a win. You can trade for a Lance Bouma tomorrow with a 6th rounder.
You'd think you would set a decently high bar for expected return on a second rounder. Why are you setting the standard so low?
