All that said, kid's still young and not everyone is Erik Karlsson. He still has time to grow into the game, but I don't see him commanding anything monstrous in trade were he to get moved again, and I don't see him making elite $ on his next contract.

This is quite frankly one of the most outlandish claims I've ever seen on these boards. Kudos.
