Personally I don't see much space for both Kuznetsov and Grushnikov on this roster long term - so pick the one you think is the best and move the other before both of them are waiver eligible next year anyways.
I love Pospisil but if he can be a piece to get you a young 21 year old center then he's not that hard to move.
If the first projected to be in the 10-15 range then sure it's probably too much, but I'd move a 22-32 overall pick for him which is where that pick projects.
I think ideally you could leave the 2nd round pick out of it, but it's going to take a slight overpayment to close the deal and I would overpay to bring in a premium center asset like McTavish.
Also people wouldn't hesitate to move Andersson in a deal for a young center like this...but you have to look at the net opportunity. No bottom feeding team that has top prospects is likely to be moving them for Andersson, and Andersson will want to go to a contender.
So you make a trade like this on one side, and move Andersson for a 1st + 2 2nds (the Chychrun/Hronek trades) in another deal, and in the end the net outcome of the assets is like you traded Andersson for McTavish.

I am not against the idea. But he is also a 40 point player. I don't think it needs a +++.
Pospisil and a the NJD 1st would be ok. Add in a throw in like a Miramanov or something.
