I think people really overvalue draft picks as a whole anyway. Obviously don't trade the first rounder every year, or constantly dump picks and prospects Sutter style, but once in a while if you get a legit NHLer back I'm fine with it.
If someone wants to criticize the value if it turns into a lottery pick, that's a legitimate argument. But in the more realistic scenario that that pick is in the 10-15 range, I really don't care if we don't have it
