is the Jason Robertson trade ever in terms of actual pieces? 13 pieces traded for 2 = 15 total pieces

Maybe in terms of quantity, but I don't think Kingston got enough. Robertson alone should've got an '02 rookie 1st rounder. And add in an NHL-drafted D-man, AND you trade him in November instead of January and you still don't get a rookie '02 first? Ouch

If a team wants to trade a draft pick ten years out and both teams agree there should be no limitations. That pick will more than likely be traded multiple times before than
The whole “you traded a ten year old” is ludicrous. It’s asset management
Cory Emmerton was traded to Brampton by Kingston for two players and five draft picks in 2007-2008. Huge price also back in those days. I believe he ended up with mono. It took the edge off the deal some what if my old memory is correct.
Kingston received Battalion forward Justin Levac and the OHL rights to right winger Thomas Middup. In addition, the Frontenacs got second- and third-round picks in 2008, second- and fifth-round selections in 2009 and a sixth-round pick in 2010.I believe this may have been the first trade to include so many high picks for a high end asset. I believe there were three or four second rounders involved. It was an eye opener at the time.
When asked how he could pay such a high price for one player, Stan Butler said the price isn't that high when you have so many assets in your cupboard.
And so started the process of building of assets by many teams in order to give them the ability to make these types of trades.
I wholeheartedly agree. Bringing in this rule was short sighted. Now instead of a second rounder seven year out changing hands, we'll see two 3rds or a body moved.
If a star player is on the block, and a bidding war ensues, this rule will not prevent the price from going down. Instead of distant picks, there will be more picks not so distant or a player or two. Whatever it takes to get the deal done. So what has this new rule accomplished. Not much.
And here we have Ranger play by play guy Mike Farwell last night talking about how great that new rule is but that more has to be done in light of the Nia/King trade. He's been calling for a rule limiting the trading of distant picks for years now and now that rule is passed. Now he wants the amount of picks that you are allowed to trade limited.
That was a 15 piece trade as well. Lots of conditionalsBefore the conditions kicked in, this was a massive deal.
Sting Acquire Konecny & Studnicka – Sarnia Sting
As a Dogs season ticket holder, I am excited about the trade. We are sorry to see Billy and Ian leave town and hope they continue their development in Kingston. I think that in order to compete for an OHL title there are still trades to be made. Colton Incze may be traded shortly and perhaps one of or both of DeSimone and Uberti but since we have made the decision to go for it, this trade was just the first step.I think Constantinou is a very valuable piece. In my breakdown in the Ottawa 67's thread I said Niagara paid about one 2nd too much if you transfer it into straight draft pick value based on recent trades etc.
Robertson = four 2nds and three 3rds plus a could random mid to late picks (based on most stud 19 year old high scoring forward trades)
Paquette = two 2nds and three 3rds (based on most 19 year old rentals with a possibility of an OA season)
Martin - 3rd and 5th (marginal depth player that may develop into something but maybe not)
Constaninou - two 2nds, one 3rd and a mid pick (top 4 D-Man at 17 and will project as a top 2 D-Man at 18)
So when everything shakes down, it looks to me like Niagara paid about one 2nd too much overall. The player equity given to Kingston overshoots the value IMO.
