You and I have had that discussion before is this package worth Wilson no. Is Oshie worth this package no.
Oshie's on a 59 point pace this year, plays both special teams, and can play 1R, 2C, 3R, 3C, PPR, PPC, PPLD, or PK. A Buffalo fan suggested Tage Thompson and a high 2nd for Oshie, this morning. Maybe they're giving up on Thompson and just valuing Oshie at a high 2nd, but to outbid a high 2nd, a late 1st doesn't seem too out there.
eta: yes, Andersen and Der-Arguchuntsev have some value, too, so yeah, it's a bit of an overpay for Oshie, unless Tor is clearing the way for a Merzlikens trade that hasn't happened, but above they are, so WSH gets to shrug off Andersen's value and point out that Der-Arguchuntsev might be their fourth ranked center prospect after the trade, slightly behind McMichael, Protas, and Lapierre, but slightly ahead of Pilon. Granted, you can never have too many skilled prospects, but that's not a reason to move a 1R on a good contract when the team is in win-now mode.
