Am I the only one who thinks a GM would be crazy to trade 2OA for 1-8 years of UFA value? Even if the value isn't far off, I think there is way too much risk that it blows up in the GMs face and they become the guy who traded Pronger/Hedman/Doughty/Malkin/Barkov level talent for a player who doesn't age well.
For reference, here are the 2OA picks since 1990 (with enough time to make a decent judgment) - wingers are bolded:
It's been really rare to bust on 2OA's, and even then they've been salvaged into decent assets.
3 ELC years + 4 RFA years + ?? UFA years
vs.
?? UFA years of Tkachuk...
