If the concept of trade comps were a drug, people around here would be overdosing on that bad stash left and right. These are not a real thing, folks. Every situation is different, from teams needs to distribution of team assets to playoff outlooks to time marches on to not all trades are created equal in level of shrewdness to, well, pretty much every damn variable one can think of.
Besides, the people most drunk on the idea of trade comps always magically choose the dumbest trades of all-time to anoint as the scripture gospel of trade comps (in their team's favor, of course), and all ensuing trades must obviously be just as hare-brained. It is so written, you infidels!
Hear me now and believe me later: trade comps do not exist in the real NHL world.
The prosecution rests, your honors. Rebut/vote away.
