It'd be pretty hard to read the market for defensemen recently and see trading JVR for one as doing anything other than making the team worse in the immediate sense. JVR for Tanev, for instance, would make the team worse.
Any team trading for JVR is almost certainly going to want to make their team better so, by definition, what they'll be trading away will be something of less current value to their team than what JVR would bring.
Trading him for picks/prospects is how you get something approaching value.
