Please feel free to shiw me examples of pending UFAs or sign/trade UFAs getting that type of return.

I think the challenge is more along the line of:
Show me another situation where a 26 year old top pairing defenceman was traded in-season.
Boston paid a 1st + 2nd + 2nd + somewhat recent 1st Urho Vaakanainen (2017 pick, trade was made in 2022) for pending UFA Hamphus Lindholm who was 28 years old. So there you go.
So, somewhere around two 1st round picks + two 2nd round picks...and Noah is two years younger.
