Trading players for late-round picks can occasionally work out for a team. The biggest example among Senators fans is Mark Stone, who was obtained through a sixth-round pick from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Alex Auld. Ryan Dzingel is a lesser-known example of this, a seventh-round pick (204th-overall) obtained from the Pittsburgh Penguins for Alex Kovalev. Dzingel played three years with the Ohio State Buckeyes of the NCAA before turning pro.
