I don't think that is fair value for Ladd at all. Not even close. (I like the trade cause its a steal for my beloved Habs though).
Habs got Petry for a 2nd and 4th. Lets compare Ladd with Petry.
Ladd: 2 time Stanley cup winner, averages 50-60 points a season the past 5 years, captains his team, cap friendly.
Petry: Never scored more than 25 Pts in a season (>20 points that one time) and due to the terrible team he played for never really showed his true abilities. cap friendly.
How are the two comparable? Ladd will get at the very least a 1st rounder and a prospect.
You want to trade Bounrival (a 3rd-4th liner at best), Gilbert (a 5-6 Dman) and a 2nd rounder? Because Gilbert who is UFA also has his salary going back the other way 2.8M cap hit, and the fact that Bournival if traded by himself would get maybe if your lucky a 5th rounder, this trade would be an absolute steal for the Habs. Even if they couldn't resign Ladd afterwards.
