I may be wrong on this one lol. Where is the logic in this trade then? It seems lop-sided more I think about it. I guess a young offensive D-man is a really hot commodity..
He absolutely is top 20 material. Criminally underrated. Comes with playing in markets like Tampa Bay and Dallas. If he played for a Canadian team, he'd be treated as the second coming of Christ.
I'm not saying he's "as good as Crosby", but he's a fantastic player.
