Quoting: Mr_Gardoki
Only in very specific situations. Most deadline deals are viewed as rentals and that's not debatable. He woudln't get less than Lindholm or Monahan. He'd get more.
I disagree that he would for sure get more than Lindholm. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see Jake being traded. Many reasons I say this:
Crosby effect is legit. I would point to how good Lindholm was with Tkachuk and Gaudreau. That’s the player I would compare to Jake with Crosby. Compare apples to apples as if they both have the luxury of really good teammates.
Lindholm is a center and that comes at a premium.
Acquiring Lindholm would be more likely to have a shot at resigning him, in theory.
I don’t see Jake fetching a first and Barlow for example, without him being resigned. And as I’ve said, I don’t see him being trade at all.
This offer is far superior than what the jets gave up for Monahan. That 2nd is maybe only 6 picks or so worse than the jets first. Chibrikov is a decent prospect and type of guy Pitt needs to add to their system. Barron and Kupari are both good bottom 6 players that would help Pitt compete while Crosby is around. If I’m the jets, it would take more than a 2nd rounder to pry Barron away from me, for an idea of value
