But in no way, shape, or form is he worth both PJ and a first. I'd argue he's not even worth either of those things given his contract situation.
PJ+Hardy+1st is the beginnings of a deal for an all-star level guy (say Jrue Holiday).
Does it change anything for you if PJ is also unsigned and UFA after the season? That possibility exists. At that point you are trading uncertainties, but both teams probably need what they are getting worse than they need what they have (and Chicago could flip PJ at the deadline). The financial savings of moving off of Hardy is also not nothing.
