You don't seem to understand that a player's value is not only determined by how skilled that player is, but also the term of the players contract. That's why Bouwmeester will fetch a superior return. If you had told me at the beginning of the season that an Iginla pure rental trade would bring a first and two prospects I would've been pleasantly surprised. We are lucky that it's a seller's market right now with plenty of teams in the playoff hunt; there are some years where the return from this type of trade would be far worse.
