"Currently a lottery pick" is a bit of a hyperbole. That doesn't mean what it used to.

I think he is a good number four, and that's in a down year for him. That's fair value for a mid first round and 2 seconds, if you look at the odds of those picks being any kind of impact players.
If you made the same trade every year and all you got back was a decent #4 defenseman, you’d have the worst team in the league. You can’t just look at the odds of what those picks could be IMO. Not to say the trade can’t work out, but it’s not as simple as that. Those picks have great value in different ways.
