Thread: how much for the russians
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>There's two more realistic scenarios I could see if the goal is just to surround Kaprizov with additional talented Russians.

1) Chinakhov - Rossi swap. I'd propose one-for-one, since Chinakhov should break out very soon, but just hasn't gotten much chance given the crowded CBJ forward room. CBJ would then have a Fantilli - Rossi - Sillinger - Kuraly/LDBB center depth long term, and they'd be more likely to take the best defenseman available in the draft at 4OA.

2) Less likely, but: on the draft floor, if Demidov falls to 4OA, I'd be open to Columbus trading down to 13OA and picking someone like Yakemchuk if he's still available. PuckPedia puts equal pick value for 4OA at ~13OA + 14OA + 135OA (5th-round), so it would definitely be for Minnesota's 1st next year, or an excellent prospect, and possibly more. Given that pick is a year later, and could be anywhere (hopefully in the late 20s/early 30s, I like MN), I'd propose 13OA, 2024 MIN 2nd, 2024 MIN 5th, and the 2025 MIN 1st.</div></div>

I wouldn't do Rossi for Chinakov 1-for-1, it'd have to be Marchenko. And I don't really see Guerin paying the price to move up, but that would be interesting.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BoomerTheHero</b></div><div>I honestly dont know what it would take to get all 3, but this certainly wouldnt be enough. They were arguably our best line this season and arent available anyway.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>At most I could see chinakhov being packaged with something else to get a better top 6 forward. Can’t see the other two being available at all and certainly not for this package although I do like Rossi.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Actual trade value: Marchenko ~ mid-1st round pick, Chinakhov ~ late 1st/early 2nd, Voronkov probably 13 OA.

But to actually pry some fan favorites/bright spots in a dark season away from the team? From a team full of young prospects and picks already? It would need to be an overpay, or as part of a package for an upgrade (like...to get Boldy or JEE). Picks and more similar prospects just aren't what Columbus is targeting right now. We need young, good NHLers 23 or under; so, the Russians.</div></div>

I kind of figured it'd have to be a deal they couldn't say no to. I was hoping to surround Kaprizov with some more Russians, but to get all three would probably take more than we're willing to give. Maybe something along the lines of swapping Boldy for Laine in the trade would make it more appealing.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SK101</b></div><div>Also wasn’t aware spacek was born in Columbus that was interesting to learn</div></div>

Didn't realize that either, I mostly included him so JIricek would have a buddy, so that's a funny coincidence.

Thread: SeriousLee
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>It really not cap compliant this year. 21 man roster, and will likely bonuses to pay. The current edition of Lee isn't worth THAT much more than Johansson.</div></div>

It could be a 22 man roster with a league-min forward and league-min defenseman instead of Hunt. Or you could just wait the short amount of time it would take to accrue enough cap space to bring someone else up. Even with everyone in the lineup hitting all their bonuses, that's less than $2.5M off of next years available cap space of about $28M.. not accounting for various roster moves that could be done next offseason like send Freddy to Iowa, trading Lee if he doesn't pan out, etc. Would trading a inconsistent bottom-6 winger and a 6/7 d-man for a possible top-6 winger be the most important move of Guerin's tenure? Not at all. It's not that difficult of a move to navigate cap-wise, though.

Thread: sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe sheet
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Huge_Caniac_Abe_Lincoln</b></div><div>Rossi for Necas is interesting, I don't know what picks and/or prospects would need to be added to even it out. How is does Rossi project going forward? I'd be a bit concerned he wouldn't get much ice time with the center depth the Canes have, but if he can slot into the top 6 then it would be interesting since most of the Canes centers are bottom 9 guys imo.

I can't see the Isles retaining 50% for 2 years for only a 5th round pick.</div></div>

Rossi is just a rookie this year, but he likely won't finish too far behind how Aho did his rookie year. The thought here would be for Carolina to run Aho -&gt; Rossi -&gt; Kuzy -&gt; Staal/KK down the middle. Not paying Necas and getting a guy on an ELC like Rossi should leave them plenty money to extend Guentzel I would think.
