That MINN trade is not even close, don't think it's close without the 2nd Rounder either.
If I'm drafting Kakko and getting Zucker I'm not ALSO signing Skinner, Bratt has proven he's going to be a Top-6 winger. If Kakko is the pick then the Devils need to add another Center because Zacha hasn't proven he can become a 2C at the NHL level. I'd throw that money at Duchene in this scenario and have Hall-Nico–Kakko with Zucker-Duchene–Bratt.
I don't think Palmieri for Ellis 1-for-1 is enough either.
