this is going to show the super nerdy OCD side of me, but i actually have a spreadsheet of anyone that starts out with a B or better potential. what i did is measure the length of the value bar. the numbers themselves are arbitrary (they represent the length of the bar in millimeters on my 60" screen), but it can give you an idea of how they stack up against each other. personally, i think RNH is a steal because even though he only has B potential, he starts out at 77 and has a relatively low value. the list is formatted poorly but its sorted by value from large to small.

to directly answer your question, RNH didn't take much for me. i traded a slightly decent prospect, a crap prospect (had to clear a contract) a 2nd, and 2 6ths. i felt like it was a pretty awesome swap. didn't have to give up a first if i didn't want to. and the guy i gave up was nowhere near as good as RNH. larsson i had a bit more trouble with. perhaps it was just because i didn't want to give up a roster player that was any good. i gave up a scrub dman and a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. lots of draft pics for him. but he is one of only 3 skaters with a potential of a-. like i said though, if i had a better player perhaps the picks wouldnt have been so steep. a real easy one is landeskog. i gave up a crap minor leaguer and 2 2nds for him. didn't feel like that was much at all for a 75 with good potential.

After winning the cup with no problems I decided to gut my team and start fresh, I am working my team around these guys.
A Larsson
K Turris
C Hodgson
R Nugent-Hopkins
G Landeskog
C De Haan
K Kabanov
E Gudbranson
J Huberdeau
I'm hoping it makes it a little more difficult and I hope get get most of these guys into the high 80's by the time im done!
