Not to nitpick but I genuinely don't think a single team would offer a 1st round pick for Barron or Mesar right now. That's just not their value.I don't think it is. Honestly unproven players who ask for a trade usually lose a bit of value. Carolina got a 2nd round pick and a 3rd round pick for Fox. Now McL'Gros will return more than Fox but Winnipeg would be fool to say no to Mesar + 1st + Barron.
It's basically in term of value three end of 1st round picks. I know our fans write off Mesar and Barron but both of them are still valuable young player younger than 23. Mesar still got the potential of a Palat and Barron still got the tools but he as to find the toolbox to put them in.
I think this is a made up offer honestly. We'll see once he is traded i guess.
Offering a handful of late 1sts and 2nds for a (seemingly NHL-ready) prospect who is oozing intangibles, size, and leadership -- things NHL GMs go crazy for -- is surely a fair deal. That is, of course, assuming McG is NHL-ready and his intangibles (etc. ) are taken into account. If the Habs wants McG then they surely think he's valuable and worth acquiring.
