I think this was a win-win deal.
A first and a prospect would be an overpayment coming from (for example) Calgary, but for a team on the cusp of winning a Stanley Cup whose only real need is a 2nd pairing defenceman who can help stir the offense, I think it's totally worth the price.
Carolina gets a fantastic return for their player, and LA doesnt have to settle for Jeff Petry.
