JG for Bjorkstrand and the 2nd of the Jackets three firsts?

Bjorkstran was on pace for 35G 60P last season, and isn't far off this year (more pts, fewer goals).
He's pretty darn close to Konecny in terms of overall value, right down to AAVs (OB has one extra year). OB is 2 yrs older, scores more goals, fewer pts.
I don't think CBJ does that trade straight up, let alone add.
The NTC really hurts...some "now or never" teams like CBJ, DAL, BUF, SJ, PIT, NAS etc. might have been more interested if their escape hatch (recover assets at TDL) wasn't so limited.
