I'm probably asking for Zary instead of Poirier if I'm the Buffalo GM.
Monahan, Zary, Bennett, Rittich, 1st, 3rd
for
Eichel, Hutton
Then the question is if that's better or comparable to what NYR or LAK could offer.
Honestly I'm taking that package if it includes Zary and Monahan over a package that is built around Turcotte or Kakko. Turcotte or Kakko were more heralded picks but IMO they are similar level of prospects to Zary at this point since neither Kakko or Turcotte has been out of their mind production wise since being drafted high.
But if I'm Brad Treliving I'm not sure I'd want to do Monahan + Zary + 1st. That starts to feel like too much then and I'd probably want to downgrade the 1st to a 2nd. If Turcotte is good enough to be the centerpiece from the Kings then that starts to feel like too much to me.
Not that much separates Zary and Turcotte as players. Limited time but Zary is younger and has actually been better at the AHL level than Turcotte has this year.
