I think looking at picks and prospects is the wrong way to look at his value. He's too young of a player to be trading for picks and prospects.
Why trade a 23 year old who plays well for a 20 year old unknown and some draft picks. That seems pointless.
On top of it, Jake really has two values. There is regular season Jake and there is playoff Jake. One is a fairly good player, the other is sign him now.
If I were to trade him, I would want someone like the breadman in return. Fairly young, speedy and is a proven performer. He's definitely worth more than a 2nd line pairing player. I know I wouldn't trade him for a lot of teams 2nd line defense men.
