Look, it's really simple. Prust has topped 10 goals once in his career and he's 31. Kassian hit it last year in half a season. If he has a good year, he's a 20 goal guy. Power forwards peak from ages 25-28. There is no world where you make this trade, and there's ABSOLUTELY no reason to do this AND end up with less cap space AND give up a draft pick.
This is so lopsided it's laughable and continues to make a case for Jim Benning as the worst GM in the NHL and it's only one year in.
