Remember, you can use a 2nd round pick as part to land a Dougie Hamilton... but you can also use it, in part, to land a Griffin Reinhart. There are no guarantees.
I'm not sure why you are getting so defensive. I didn't say anywhere that I thought it was a bad trade.

I just don't agree with some posters that basically say that as long as Lazar is a half decent 4th liner then it's a win for the Flames.

I don't know what Lazar will become but when you give up a second rounder as a GM you are expecting that player to fit into the top half of your roster eventually.

Is that not a fair thing to say about trading a second rounder?
