It's really hard to try and determine the value of big trades like this, but it's pretty obvious that Philly is getting a steal. Chabot and White are both going to be excellent players soon, and Brassard is an established NHL player who makes a good second line center. Lazar has upside still and would be good on a team's third line, Methot is a solid defenseman even though he is overpaid, and a first round pick on top of it for Giroux and Weal essentially. Mason is a rental here, and Raffl isn't too much to write home about. Giroux is an excellent player, don't get me wrong, but that's a heavy price to pay when we saw an elite scorer be traded for a second pairing defenseman just this summer.
