So was he worth almost 2x as much...probably not.
In the end it still shows how the market for 30+ year old forwards/wingers is relatively soft.

I think that he was worth that much more than Smith based on all the areas he is better in- ability, durability, contract.
But I also think the value we got back was fair for him just would have preferred the actual pick (2nd round) than the player who is perceived to be worth that.
If we got a 2nd (around 37) and a 3rd, I would really like the Toffoli deal while still being a bit disappointed that it wasn't a 1st.
