Bjorkstrand = Bjorkstrand

Foudy = 1st

Perhaps you're right, but why is Columbus going to want to mortgage the future when they already did that for one of the draft years? They would have nothing in the pipeline. They went all in last year. They lack a top 6 center, hoping Foudy is that. And I added in Korpisalo because he'd be an ideal 1B behind Rittich, and signed with term since we need cap space.
Maybe I am missing a piece, but I don't think Columbus is going to trade a top prospect and two of their middle 6 RW's as part of the package.
I would prefer to trade with New Jersey, Philly, NYR, or NYI. They have more appealing pieces.
