It's pretty much useless to be talking value with you. You obviously only look at your Jets and nothing else. You keep pointing at others that Trouba is this amazing defenseman that is a so much important part of your organization and all, but what do you even think about Sergachev ?
Good for the Jets if they are "stacked with top-shelf prospects". Not like the Canadiens have only garbage either. But see, you point out that value is crap because Jets don't need what is offered. But if you view it from Montréal, we don't either. Organizational need, we don't give a **** about Trouba because we are stacked on right handed defensemen, especially prospects. RHD is all we have in the future. So we need Sergachev MUCH more than Trouba.
Does that mean that Trouba is garbage because of that ? Obviously not. He's got value. And the OP is offering value for value.
But obviously, HF logic, if team needs aren't met, value is complete garbage.
Trade won't happen because of needs, yes, but not because of value.
