Your amazing 2-way center with 8 goals is not likely to get a king's ransom - and teams don't often give up A prospects for rentals, as many have demonstrated. When Tippet was traded, he was plateauing in Florida and there were starting to be questions about his future.

Well again.. Lindholm had 64 points last year which is a mark Giroux hadn't reached in three years prior to the trade. He's also significantly younger, and a better two hundred foot player. 40 game sample sizes don't crater player values on proven high end assets. Lindholm is the best piece on the market by a significant margin, down year or not.
Sorry, but I wouldn't be happy at all with the 27-32nd overall pick in a mediocre draft, Arshdeep Bains, and Tyler Myers even though it technically meets the "criteria" some of you are looking for.
