Pedigree is irrelevant after you get a decent sample size of play.
Hanifin has value because he's a young defenceman who's improving, not because he was drafted 5th.
Lindholm has already played 5 seasons and has generally put up the same point totals the entire time. His draft slot doesn't add anything to his value that 5 years of play doesn't.
