Because he's such a late bloomer, it's really hard to gauge his value. Similar to when Bill Karlsson blew up last year. He put up a 40/80 season, but would any team have traded for him if he cost what a 40 goal centre usually costs? Probably not. I would imagine his next season will look a lot like Karlsson's follow up season: a seeming step back, but still ultimately proving he's not a total fluke. I think he'll put up around 40 points next year.
I could see a team like MTL, who needs a lefty who can play in the top 4 and run the PP giving up a 1st, but I don't think you're likely to get more than that.
