Vlasic was a top defensive d-man in the league in his prime for many years. It was a win win trade.
But really comparing the player to a specific draft pick is a bit silly. Like if you trade Tanev for a 4th rounder and that 4th rounder becomes the next Kucherov in 2029 it's not really a good trade, your GM made a poor move and your scouts made a good one. It makes more sense to compare the player being traded to the chance of the 2nd round pick hitting as an NHLer.
