We can get elite players in the next 2 draft and trade for Necas if the return to Carolina is similar to what I'm suggesting.
I said, of course if Rasmus was on the table for a top 15 pick this draft go that direction first. But if not, trading 2 28-year-olds for a 25-year-old and resigning him is still a good option. I also suggested we get Carolina 1st in 24 in the trade. That is adding futures and then we likely get a 2nd or more for Orlov 50% retained.
I personally believe that our team is very bad this year and if Rasmus loses PP time to Weegar and maybe a Porier as well his value could go down. What will people be saying when we are bottom 5 in the league, Rasmus is having a bad year and is a -35 and on pace for 30 points...what will his value be then? If we can't get the top 15 pick this draft, I like this option move forward. We get younger and add picks. But Coronato might get 4th line duties from game to game so we better not make the deal?

A lateral move for roster players is fine, like a Markstrom or Mangiapane.
Adding a draft pick(s) is my issue. We need to be getting picks.
I don't think Mangiapane gets the deal done either.
