Ladd is a 4* at the start of the game and has actually declined to 3.5* in most of my saves 3 years on, so you couldn't argue he has much upside potential. Plus he's on a nasty 7-year contract at a cap hit of $5.6m.

In return for shifting him off the books the AI gets Vey @ 3.5*, Korpikoski, Gazdic and Nilsson @ 3*, plus a 3rd rounder. Korpikoski in particular has excellent defensive stats which I would argue undervalue him slightly at a 3* rating in game.

By all means argue that Ladd himself is under-rated, but that doesn't mean the trade was ridiculous, particularly given his contract terms.
