Value wise it is a horrible deal for the Habs.
we cant look at deals based on age of a player or what the league "perceives" if the value of all the said players are basically "equal right now".
Why is age a factor or where they play if player values are equal? That seems to create an imbalance in trades.
Would you look at it the same if it was a 36 year old Yzerman?
