I don't really buy the 6th for 2nd analogy. Each transaction is its own. You should judge each transaction on its own merit. Afterall, Joe Pavelski was a 7th round pick... So if you traded him for a 5th round pick in 2009 that would have been a good transaction? 7th for a 5th? If you look at what goaltenders have been traded for, in season. Blackwood for a 2nd is fair market value. Kovalenko looks to be an impact player on the Sharks, so this was a good trade. Giavani Smith and Georgiev are basically make the Cap Hit work and give the Sharks a 1a/1b to replace Blackwook for the season. The teams also swapped same round picks (in different years), which is relatively minor. So Essentially a 2nd & Kovalenko on a rebuilding team, for a goaltender who said he wasn't likely to re-sign with the Sharks.
Thrun
