Johnson can't crack a Columbus roster that desperately needs him.
Zegras is a Youtube act.
Rossi... Why are the Wild moving him? He just became a full time player and scored 20 goals. We already have Zary - how much are we spending to add another Zary?
Trading a 1st and two 2nds for a Dougie Hamilton level player is one thing.
These make no sense and I want no part of any of them.

I won't defend Zegras or Rossi as I don't think they're particularly interesting in trade scenarios.
But Kent Johnson is still in development, has the skill and the size to be a good player once he rounds into form, I'd much rather Kent Johnson than any of the other players. Columbus is a wreck on the whole so I won't read too much into their individual player struggles.
Necas is interesting as I'd really only like to acquire him as he's a Conny special it seems and is Carolinas misfit toy similar to Sharangovich was. I'd be interested to see him in a similar opportunity to Sharangovich on the same Flames team.
That's all I got to say really.
Other than there's something to be said about individual players not meshing with coaches or organizations honestly.
For reference see: Sam Bennett.
