Seriously I'd be curious to see his value...

if you took the Habs as an example, I think it'll look like this: Cale Fleury, KK, Lukas Vejdemo, Artturi Lekhonen + a good bunch of picks including a 1st

The thing is there is no price on him unless he asks for a trade. If it comes out he demands a trade things will get real interesting just to see what teams are willing to pony up like 3 firsts and a bunch of prospects or something along those lines.

Well put.

In such a scenario....I think they look for a younger centerman with upside as a centerpiece and more to a team looking to generate excitement for their fanbase or jumpstart their rebuild efforts.

I think the preference would be to send him to the West tho
