Value = position-weighted production for the acquiring team, with playoffs weighted up and bonuses for Cups and major awards won there. Picks count as the drafted player's production, and when a piece was later re-traded, whatever came back counts toward this trade too, so value follows the full chain. Production only, no salary/cap context. Best-effort.
