The thing about the Zucker comparison is that a lot of the value came from the term. He has an extra 2 years compared to Tatar, which while it still looks nice, im not convinced they give up their best D prospect and a 1st, because :
I think a team in any other division would be willing to do that package, but the problem is the Pacific. The pacific division is so weak/shaky, its hard for teams to know whether they are truly contenders or not. Even with Tatar, I dont see them making it past the blues, Pens, or Caps. Which is why I dont think they give up Bouchard. Now, you go and talk about a team like St Louis or Boston or even Carolina with Dougie out, I think theres a good chance you would get a really solid return. Maybe its the other way around, the pacific is so weak EDM would be willing to give up Bouchard to solidify themselves as the clear best in the division, but thats just how I look at it. And then the same goes with VGK but I think thats different because the most valuable asset to them is their first since they are getting Petry back
