I would not have given up a 1st for him.
I think its not a bad move by Phoenix. Bobrovsky future value is a real question mark - if he ends up being a starter again this deal isn't great, but if he just becomes a back-up long-term he's done very well.
Moving a player now with such a high range of possible future value is sound. I've done the same thing in the past - moving guys I wasn't confident about for solid initial return. In some cases it worked well (e.g. moving Stralman) and other cases less well (e.g. moving Leino).
