I think we as fans are hyping up the value of PLD too much now. How many times do we hear rumors of a player on the move and think of all the assets they will get in return, and the actual move is always underwhelming.
PLD is a commodity every team wants. Young, Center, strong at both ends of the ice. But CBJ has lost all leverage and teams will have to make room for a $5 mil cap and more room to lock him up longterm.
I do agree that NYR would probably have to bump up the prospect here, but to say this isn't close to the value with a legitimate 2nd line winger, high ceiling young 3C, and a prospect and pick, is probably going to let you down when the actual trade goes through.
