Usually a late 2nd round pick (closer to 60 than 50) buys you 4-5 spots in the last 10 picks of the 1st round (so, moving from 28 to 23, or 26 to 21 etc).
19 + "50" (it is actually the 49th pick) probably gets you into the 15 range.
Carolina holds 13, Edmonton holds 14, Toronto holds 15 - all three of these teams strike me as teams that would be interested in picking up a 2nd round pick for moving down a few spots, especially if Askarov is off the board early and Carolina can't get him. Meanwhile E=NG and spent this year and next year's 2nd round picks on AA (hahaha), so they could want the pick. Dubas is always playing the numbers, and adding a 2nd in this case likely more than makes sense.
