Hampus Lindholm: one first, two seconds, an NHL-ready prospect who played immediately after the trade and is playing in the NHL this season, too, and 50% retention on the balance of $6.75 million.
Your value of Meier: one first, one defenseman who's still playing overseas and thus at least a couple of years away from playing in the NHL, a prospect who is an underdog to make the League, and 50% retention on the balance of $10 million for a guy you still have under team control this summer.
Now, I'll be the first person to admit that Boston overpaid for Lindholm by at least a second even though he re-signed with them, he's quarterbacking the Bruins' first PP unit and they're leading the league in points, but I also think that you're a little short for Meier here.
