It's likely the Penguins pick will amount to nothing, and almost certainly less than when Burmistrov could bring. I'd offer the Jets that pick, and either low level prospect or a late round pick.
Could he be a washout? Sure, but still much less of a chance than expected late first round picks. Like Backcheck said this is exactly the type of player we should be going after (assuming he'd be optimistic about playing in another Canadian city).
