Good, mid-20s player.
Top tier prospect.
1st round pick.
2nd round pick.
That's the criteria.
Why? It's not more likely that the package gets better closer to the deadline. If anything, it limits the options. Focusing in on the "now" of this trade is the least important part. They need to NAIL the prospect acquired. The player we get today isn't going to be better than Tkachuk, or anywhere near as good. The prospect has to be top tier, that's the most important piece in my eyes.

All reports out of St Louis are Kyrou isn't on the table. 23 1st and Neighbors equivalent will matched at the draft.
