Long story short, Johnny won't be getting traded until he hits his UFA years and even then I hope every effort is taken to keep him. and only then will we know what his trade value is.
To maximize the return on a trade, you have to trade while the player is hot.

Would he improve? probably
Does he the ideal size which Burke/Treliving have wanted? no
would he likely get a career ending injury in the near future? likely at that size

All it takes is a miss spin or a miss move and it's game over for Johnny

Getting another 1st rounder in the deep 2015 draft would be a win. We need to trade now or soon
