Well sure... but the overrating tends to be along the line of "The next Bergeron!" level of overrating which is more then anyone should project on a rookie.
Setting that aside he is a 19 year old Center playing meaningful minutes, with a reputation for solid two-way play, making a positive contribution on a contending team in the NHL right now. That is a big get IMO.
As for the other musing I wouldn't take the TO offer... if there are 5+ teams willing to offer a 2nd now by the time the deadline comes one will offer a 1st or a 2nd ++.
I dunno about the Pinto proposal... the price is fine but the timing isn't ideal.
