When you pick a guy in a draft, you hope he develops and turns into a contributor on your team. No different with acquiring Vladar, especially since he's still young.
This is the kind of trade you make with picks. I get the frustration with trading picks for rentals that play 15 games for you and then walk, but this is different. There is literally no difference between trading a pick for Vladar and using the pick to draft a Vladar.
