You don't necessarily get a second rounder. That is the best you can do. A more likely outcome is a 4th or 5th rounder. The NHL has some bizare formula for determining compensation, that is based on the player's impact on your team and also takes into account other players signed by your team. Ifs realtively rare the the compensation is as a high as a second rounder, and the player involved is probably not high profile enough to warrant that return.
