still thorougly underwhelmed by the return, but I do like the general direction a lot.
5 1sts in the next three drafts
an extra 2nd this year, plus an extra 3rd or 4th
an extra 2nd or 3rd next year
an extra 3rd in 2026
around 20m in cap space next season with only Kylington and Pelletier to re-sign
so while I I dislike the return of this trade in isolation, that's still a lot of flexibility and ammunition going forward. And if you add the fact they've added a quality prospect in Brzustewicz, a good roster player and potential trade chip in Kuzmenko and hopefully a useful guy in Miromanov, there's certainly a lot to like.
