I realize you said high first rounder but if that's the case, I say you could get at least 1 top ten pick and another top 20 pick/prospect minimum.
If Jarome only nets you one first rounder - you keep him - plain and simple. Semyon Varlamov netted a 1st and a 2nd from a contender. I am pretty sure Iginla would get you more than that.
Agree with the rest of your post about trying to find a reasonable trade partner though. That is not as easy as people think.

Weird to compare a 1st line player with a goal tender. Do you go to the grocery store and say "man, i'd like the pears but the passion fruit is cheaper". Of course they different values as it is a completely different position.
