Lazar had just turned 21 a year before.
So far two of the next 40 players taken (2017 - #47 pick traded for Lazar - #86) have played >30 games. (obviously far too early to evaluate).
It turned out to be a bad trade, but the odds of Lazar turning into a legitimate NHL player were better than the odds for a 47th pick. That statement will be true for Jankowski if he is traded for a pick, too.
