Agree that we need to get the trade right (if we do indeed trade him, im not convinced MB is actually leaning that way) but with regards to the ROR comparison, ROR always brought a lot more than points. So while his numbers were lower than Domi's I would argue he was probably higher value than Domi is right now. Also, the Avs got more for him than just Zadorov & Grigs. I believe that Compher & a high pick went with him (and maybe someone else went the other way?)
Your point is absolutely valid though - its why I would include Caufield in a deal for Laine any day (some are balking) because with Laine you know what you have. I am really high on caufield, I think he will work out, but with prospects you never know until they've made the jump for at least a decent amount of time.
I rather keep Domi and send him to arbitration before I trade him for cheap.
And yes, I love Caufield as one of our best prospects but I would include him in a package to get Laine for sure!
