I am not going to pretend to know what the cost of moving Boychuk is going to be, at 36 and with two years left on his deal you are going to find it hard to trade normally. But with him controlling his fate its even harder, 8 team trade list and if he is smart he will have picked teams that can not take his contract to give himself leverage. He most likely wants to go to a contender which means a buyout something that the wings can not do now unless the islanders do it after Pulock's case. Thats the problem, if you do get him to allow a trade to a team like the Red Wings you wont have any leverage at all, and that only increases the cost of dealing him. So i agree with other Red Wings fans that it is likely to cost more then a simple first round pick to trade him.
