Tex is injured, and while he is having a career year, he isn’t getting a first and a second from anybody. A 2nd and a 3rd, maybe, but at that point you are just betting on potential. And while it seems he has a lot of potential, refer to his 70 points in 17 games U18 campaign, that was 2 years before he was drafted, and he hasn’t put up those numbers since. Me personally, I love Tex, but he isn’t worth that much. At that point we can just start talking Laine with those picks (just a starter, more would be added IMO).
With Tex being injured right now, how about a 3rd/4th for him? You won’t get top dollar for an injured player, refer to Eichel trade, but that should be a reasonable price for someone that is injured who plays like Tex.
