What a few people on this site believed has no bearing on what RNH is worth in reality.

Obviously RHN will bring in more than a late first round and 2 marginal prospects, but he would not get anywhere close to what the Leafs gave up for Kessel for instance.

That's debatable. Not anywhere close? I bet he could.

Do you think Columbus would give the Oilers Horton who they signed for 7 years at 5.3?

Well, the Jackets just signed him so they won't trade him anyway. And I'm not sure the Oilers would even want him.

No body wants to come out and say what they think RHN is worth.

I hate making trade proposals so it's hard for me to say what he would be worth. But I think he's worth quite a bit more than what you believe he is.

Because of his physique and style of play he will not be a prototypical franchise centre like Kopitar or Getzlaff, or Toews or Staal or Tavares, or Backes or Spezza.

I agree to some extent, but even if he doesn't turn out to be a superstar doesn't mean he'll be garbage, either. He's a very good offensive player with a lot of potential. A little early to be writing him off already.
