Where the 1st round pick lands, coupled with where the strength of the draft is expected to fall off does impact the quality of the deal, not sure why you would suggest otherwise.

I didn't suggest the placement of the pick didn't matter, I said it is what could tilt the value of the Horvat trade being better depending on your view of the main prospects in the trade.
Raty wasn't really progressing when he was traded and I think he tops out out as a middle six guy if he sticks in the NHL.
Brzustewicz probably goes in the late 1st round now basis a way too early re-draft. He could definitely bust but I prefer taking the prospect that progressed.
