Zadina is closer to Valimaki. As Jiri says he is probably worth more, but the defense position being more important helps to balance things out.
From the Sven perspective of being worth a second round pick, I have to think that Zadina is probably worth a second and Valimaki a fourth. So would Valimaki and a third get the deal done?
Is Zadina worth doing the deal?
What are the better alternatives for a young scorer that might just need a different/better situation?

I think NYR is going to have a hard time giving enough ice/opportunity to everyone including Kakko and Kravtsov.
I wonder if the plan is to showcase the latter and create a trade market for him.
Wahlstrom in the Island also comes to mind.
