I'm not sure as theoretically, anything can happen with prospects. 6th pick might of been better than 3rd a year later etc and both teams have different values on different players organization wise.
People have JP as a lock to be a franchise player at 3- I'm skeptical penciling guys in that way. For all we know, Logan Brown may be the next Thornton but bigger ( and he is still growing). It's hard to compare because there isn't many 6'6 skilled centers in the NHL like Logan is to compare to.
Personally to move up, I would give a 2nd and one of Klimchuk/ Poirier and that's about all. Both teams get their man and Columbus gets a valued 2nd pick and a prospect.

That's highly, highly doubtful. Their junior careers are in no way even remotely comparable. It's like saying Jost could be the next Crosby for all we know.
