Disagree.
Konecny is only 22, he's already a much better player than any of the roster pieces (Girard, Berglund, Miller) going back in those deals, and he likely hasn't reached his ceiling.
Frost is a top-15 prospect in the NHL, worth much more than Kamenev, Kuraly, or Thompson. He's comparable as an asset to Valimaki.
And the 11 OA is higher than any of the picks involved in those deals.
Here's a comparable deal for a star LW:
To Penguins:
Kessel
Biggs
Erixon
To Leafs:
Kapanen
Spalling
Harrington
3rd
That's a much worse deal than the one I proposed. And I don't recall Shanahan getting fired after making it.
