Aside from Jamie Benn, I would consider all your listed players to be complimentary players, even when they were in their prime. I would think TB would be more inclined to trading Palat (your comparable for Dubois?) ahead of Tyler Johnson (comparable to Nylander?), Hedman (comparable to one of the 3 Ds), or Kucherov (comparable to Tkachuk?). Not sure what your point is with this argument??
