I would do this deal in a heartbeat but Ken Holland will probably take much lesss.

I would be very surprised if you needed to give up a first for Nyquist. I am guessing with this offer it would only take a second rounder and maybe a late round pick. As a Wings fan I am doing this deal in a second. I just think you are giving up more than you will need to for Nyquist. I am fine with the prospect, and from what it sounds like Holland is going to work the phones for prospects over picks this year.

Probably a little too much for Nyquist in reality, but not that far off. If Boyle commands a second round pick, then guys at Nyquist's level are worth 1st rounders easily (especially since they are late 1sts), plus something else.

Also, Boyle's deal sets a value for Glendening (as they both play [or should be playing] the 4th line C position). There numbers aren't that far off (and Boyle has played on significantly better teams than Glendening has): http://hkref.com/tiny/9gJ1p
