The Karlsson Trade Clearly will have some picks in to adjust value, just a general starting package here. Also It would probably happen in the offseason rather than the TDL.

If we are sending both Norris and Chychrun to PIT, we might as well be talking about Karlsson and Guentzel (Extended) coming back the other way. I'd add Boston's 1st to make it happen. Otherwise, don't see Norris going back the other way. The values of EK65 and Chychrun are pretty close and that would be the base with not that much else being added. No interest in Rust, and would be happy with a POJ/Branny swap.

OTT will sign zeitsev to a 8 year deal before they trade for EK at any price
