Certainly higher value than Clarkson, that would be gone after this season.Potential on a rookie scale contract has some value (where you can retain them for another 5 years afterward with little resistance). Potential on a 5 and 1/3 year vet with that kind of price tag, not so much. Those are not the guys you trade for, they're the guys you sign for min contracts in the offseason after all else has fallen through.
