No because that would largely come down to the luck of the ball and a scenario that would not have existed if the Flames had kept the pick and not traded for Hamonic. They may have still missed the playoffs but the odds and literal dropping of the balls would be different.
So no. That's not how you can evaluate this trade. You can evaluate it on the approximate value overall of a lottery pick I suppose but if the pick ends up #3 you cannot say they traded a 3rd overall pick for Hamonic. That would be tremendously flawed.
